However, it is actually Gm Because he used a "capo" on his guitar to change G major to Bb Therefore, although Em is played, it is actually Gm my question is. Does BIAB have similar functions? For example, I still set it in the key of G major, and the key displayed in each BAR is also G major. But actually the sound is in Bb major. In other words, when I see the video added to the third fret, I only need to add +3 in the BIAB software, but it will still be displayed in the key of G major. Does BIAB have similar functions?

YMMV I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon! 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

One changes the key and the pitch of what you hear, both together. The other changes the key that is displayed, but the pitch remains the same. Look at the little box that displays the key signature and notice that there is a small space to the right of the displayed key. Click there and you can specify the visual transposition, for example for a saxophone (a transposing instrument) to read the music but have it still sound in the original key as played on the computer. In the case of the guitar with a capo, you will have to know how many half-steps the difference is. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

Click where you see 'C' near the song tempo value at the top of the screen.

OP swingbabymix Veteran S Joined: Sep 2021 Posts: 2,053	Originally Posted by Noel96 Hi SBM. I don't understand what you all mean. However, I found a way myself. Because I want the piano sound played by shift-enter to be in different scales. The virtual instrument I use is EZKEY 1. I found that the EZKEY itself can adjust semitone intervals. So, my idea came true. I can change it by modifying the semitone interval of EZKEY. I took a screenshot of the photo and shared it here.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
