(please be patient as i'm watching uk soccer on nbc today if its on.) what are you trying to do ? takeing an old song with varying tempo and trying to generate new pg content in sync with it ? i'm trying to do this currently as i have loads of masters done in commercial studios. its not trivial stuff imho. it looks to me that from your graphics that on mp3 import to bb your getting some sort of error and bb wants to generate a log file ? (note i'm vision impaired somewhat.) if you post the mp3 somewhere the rest of us can import it into bb and our daws and see if we get any exception errors. question...this mp3...forgetting bb for a moment does this mp3 play ok in vanilla win media player ? i just imported a mp3 into bb here and it worked fine. as did wma. i did get a chord chart generated in acw but it wasnt accurate. i dont expect it to be...nature of the tech beast. i suspect its a very difficult coding job for any programmer to be fair. so of course had to fix up the chord chart. it DID however get some chords accurate. to be fair show me any daw that can do exactly what you want ie chord interpretation/tempo mapping from audio (mot midi) cos imho to be fair as i said imho its darn difficult at the coding level. i would love to test such a daw...as ive tested many recently and i didnt find a way to do this....its a devil of a job matching new content to old masters from my experience. you can slam me if you wish...but...imho this tech thats in bb and rb i feel will always not bring perfect results. frankly i'm amazed pg have brought it this far and kudos for that. happiness. om Last edited by justanoldmuso; 08/25/24 05:19 AM. my songs....mixed for good earbuds...(fyi..my vocs on all songs..) https://soundcloud.com/alfsongs (90 songs created useing bb/rb.)

I have had it with BIAB as I prepare to exit this forum (...not with a bang, but with a wimper). The mp3 in question is a Youtube download which I am trying to cover. Noel has already worked with the mp3 and it fully functional and he created an apparent nice tempo map. But I am not looking for a fish dinner. I need to know how to fish. Quote to be fair show me any daw that can do exactly what you want ie chord interpretation/tempo mapping from audio (mot midi) cos imho to be fair as i said imho its darn difficult at the coding level. i would love to test such a daw...as ive tested many recently and i didnt find a way to do this....its a devil of a job matching new content to old masters from my experience. Yes, I agree. Reaper comes darn close and I am certain it will do better when I learn more how to do this in Reaper. So that is where my efforts are going to go moving forward. Concider this my final message to you personnally on my farewell tour. Carry on my friend and keep making music.

But if you want to much the tempo of the audio to the BB BPM that's easy to do in BB! If you have issues with audio files dragged into BB check also the name of the file for strange characters or if it's too big, just rename it to something simple.' Regards to all.' Django in a Box

How do you guy have the patience to continue working in this program!! All musical creativity ends when I move back into BIAB. I have lost all confidence in BIAB. I had enough.... no mas! Hi Dan, I can repeat this error by doing the following... 1) Open mp3 (not Open Special). 2) Click on Audio Edit. 3) The exception error appears. When I loaded the mp3 yesterday, I used the following steps. 1) Open Special \| Open Audio (I've since discovered that it's okay to use Open here too.) 2) Select the Audio track 3) Click on ACW This works for me without any errors. I have no idea why selecting ACW works fine whereas selecting Audio Edit does not. I'll report this anomaly to the development team. If you can enter into ACW (rather than Audio Edit), I'm happy to explain how I did things so that you can try out my approach. --Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

"To play the audio from any specific location, locate the red cursor at that location my clicking on the audio’s graphic display and pressing the space bar". I suspect the bold word should be by.

DrDan Veteran Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 12,104 Wauconda	So I wanted to close this tread with the final production. I did this project "just for fun" with the intent of leaning more about how to integrate Audio and midi in Reaper. Along the way, I experimented with creating and using a midi map in BIAB to combine with an mp3 track from the web. As you see in this tread big help was given by Noel using the BIAB ACW. Thanks again Noel. Have a listen if you care to. In the end, there is NO BIAB in this final production. Just didn't work for me. But I learned a lot and had fun with the entire arrangement. The alignment of the audio with my midi tracks is not perfect. It is damn hard to do this, even if you have a good midi map. That is the lesson learned. But it should not stop one from having fun. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k-qvAYOjrIq6rkO6E-rOSnF5hpCCWyBs/view?usp=sharing If you want to compare my cover to the Original, you will find it here BIAB – 2025, Reaper (current), i7-12700F Processor, 32GB DDR4-3200MHz RAM, 1TB WD Black NVMe SSD, 2TB WDC Blue SSD, 1TB WD Blue, 2 TB SK NVMe, 6 TB External, Motu Audio Express 6x6
