Chapter 3: Band-in-a-Box 2010 for Macintosh

Timebase and Tempo Controls

Double-time and half-time support for RealTracks

Now you can play any RealTracks at half-time or double-time. This allows you, for

example, in a ballad at a tempo of 70, to add a RealTracks Sax solo with a tempo of 140,

and play it as a double-time, which will match the ballad tempo of 70. So now all of your

existing RealTracks can be used at 3 different tempos (normal, half-time, double-time).

You can control over when/how RealTracks would play. To do this, open Assign

RealTracks to Track dialog and use “Timebase” combo box.

Tempo swapping of similar RealTracks

You can use this feature either automatically or manually. If you set “Auto RealTracks

substitution based on tempo” to true in RealTracks Settings dialog or Additional Song

Settings dialog, Band-in-a-Box will automatically choose the best one to use.

For example, if you have a ballad loaded, with an Acoustic Bass RealTracks at a tempo

of 60, and you speed up the tempo to 140, and press [Play] button, Band-in-a-Box will

automatically choose an Acoustic Bass RealTracks closer to the tempo of 140, if it is the

same genre and feel. This means you can use a simple Jazz style, and play it at various

tempos, without having to set the best RealTracks based on tempos. The RealTracks that

support the Tempo Swapping are listed in the next to last column of the RealTracks

Assign dialog.

For example, if we load in a Ballad Jazz style like _BALFRED.Style,

we can see that the name of the Bass RealTracks style has a tilde (~) symbol at the

beginning. That indicates that it could be changed to a different RealTracks at a higher

tempo.

Now let’s increase the tempo of the song to a higher tempo, like 115.

We will see that the name of the RealTracks switches to a different RealTracks, suitable

for tempo=110.

So when you press [Play] button, you’ll hear the RealTracks closest to your tempo,

without having to do anything to make this happen.

If you don’t want this feature to happen automatically, then set “Auto RealTracks

substitution based on tempo” to false. Then, if you have similar RealTracks available at

different tempos, Band-in-a-Box will simply tell you there is a better one to choose.
