I have a Last Date BIAB Track in the Key of F. I would like to change the first Ten Bars to the key of C and leave the rest of the song in F the way Conway did it with Johns Intro. Can it be done? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Billy

Billy,

For this, the way I'd do it is to set the number of times you want it to play through, and unfold this to make it one complete song. The just change the first 10 bars to the chords for the key of C. If you're unclear what they would be, you can transpose the entire song to C, make a note of what the chords are for these first 10 bars, the return the song to F and change the 10 bars. This should do it. Hope this helps.

Ian's solution is the best one, but you've got to unfold it first or it will do the change every time it plays through...... Unless you define those 10 bars as an intro. Most of the stuff I do are to build tracks for singers as well as instrumental solos. I find that unfolding the song into one large track makes it easier to manage the vocal and instrumental parts. Either way, I hope we've helped Billy accomplish what he was trying to do. There's so much about BIAB that I don't understand. I learn something every time I use it.
