| I am doing a project in Cool Edit Pro and have been trying to incorporate some sounds from biab. The problem is no matter how hard or long I try I cannot syncronize the files. It starts out fine and about half way through it seems the biab file is slowing down. If I speed biab up then it is too fast. I am using a drum machine to get the exact tempo of Cool Edit files, go to biab and match the tempo. Then i create a wave file, load it in Cool Edit, syncronize the start then play the project. Any help would be appreciated. thanks Winston May |

I have also found that band in a box has trouble keeping up synch. At one point, creating a wav file from BIAB, I got a pretty unusable result, full of audible clicks and timing innacuracies.
You could export the MIDI file, then import it to some other MIDI editing program, like Cubase, or something, (and probably get better sounds, if you have real synths, or reason), then, render that to wav and THEN import to Cool edit.

Hi Winston,
You want to use the syncronization feature of MIDI; make one device the master clock and all other devices slaves. When you start the song on BIAB (set to master) all other devices on the chain will get the clock data in the MIDI stream and will respond by playing in perfect sync. Stop and start the master device at any point in the song and the slave devices will detect the start point and pick up the sync, usually within a measure or two. |

| Michael How do I set the midi clock in BIAB? I looked in the options and did not find anything. I looked in Cool Edit and found it there. I set Cool Edit to slave. Winston |

Go to options, click on preference. this will bring up a huge window and click on output channel.
The next window about the second to the last box from the bottom is marked as "Output Midi Sync Info"
Check that box and it should send the sync output.
I haven't used this yet but it should do what you want.
