Chapter 6: Band-in-a-Box PowerGuide

When you do this, the song will regenerate, the tracks will get rewritten, and the song will stay frozen. So if you’re

freezing songs to get the instant playback with RealTracks, but get tired of the “same-old” frozen arrangement, just

press SHIFT-PLAY, generate a new arrangement, and press SAVE. Then the new “fresh-frozen” arrangement will

play instantly, even with many RealTracks.

Tip: Obviously you wouldn’t use this feature to force regeneration of a frozen song if you have made custom edits to the song that

you don’t want to lose, unless you’ve saved the song and have a backup copy.

Saving Songs

Saving a Song

Once you have made a song, or have made changes to a song, you can easily save the song if you

- Click on one of the Save buttons, or

- Press the F2 function key, or

- Choose Save or Save song As… from the File menu, or

- Press

+s.

Then type the filename for the song. Don't add the extension; Band-in-a-Box adds it for you. The extension .SGU

indicates a Band-in-a-Box song; the extension .MGU indicates a Band-in-a-Box song with a melody.

Saving song with Patches…

You can save your song with patches and other settings. This is done by selecting the [Save +] button or

the Save song with Patches… option from the File menu. If you would like to save certain patches with a

song type in the number of the instrument patch that you would like. Leave the other instruments at “0”

for no patch change.
