Just wondering who's using BIAB with Mac and how well it works. I'm running OSX v. 10.4.10
I have Garageband, but would like to get BIAB as well.
Any info would be much appreciated! |

I use it and have used it since the late 80's on a mac. I have not used it with Leopard yet, but a friend told me he updated and it worked without problems.
There are still more PG Music offerings on the pc side, but the regular and mega paks etc work great. |

I'm having trouble with BIAB on my Intel Mac Mini in Tiger:
I save a BIAB file as MIDI, then import it into iTunes. But if I control-click and convert the file to MP3, the volume decreases by about a third. Is this normal? Is there a better way to do an MP3 conversion?
Also noting that in BIAB, the song name in the little box where it also has key and tempo, MUST be correct. I manually corrected some song names imported into iTunes, but double clicking to play would often dupe the file and name it "Unnamed", or actually change the name to whatever was in that BIAB name field, a name change in iTunes won't stick.
Anyone else see these issues?
I'm just learning how to use this program, it's sort of cool, but also very bad user interface, nothing as slick as we're used to in most Mac apps. I'll save other questions for later

| John, check in itunes preferences and see if you have chosen 'use soundcheck' in your playback preferences. if so, it will cause the behavior you are describing. If you uncheck it.. it should solve the problem... |

| Randy, I just checked, Sound Check in my iTunes is turned off. So what else could be the problem? |

Any of the problems listed here are solvable by using the "help" menu within BIAB and the "Mac Help" available on the top menu bar..of the Desktop..
You'll NEVER forget, if you find out for yourself.. |
