I was sure I had it, but I can't find it. If someone could send it to me please.

Thanks a lot.

George

Well Hello Ray. Nice to hear from you. Yes, I'm referring to Backing Tracks (as they seem to call them in the UK), or Rhythm Tracks as they're often called here.

I'm looking for it in the BIAB format, because I can change the key and tempo. I'm struggling to learn the C6th tuning after 55 or more years playing in A Major and E7th. I have lots of C6th tab but it's a lot easier if I can slow down the tempo and als change it to the key in which the particular tab is written.

I have about 5,000 BIAB tracks, but I'll Be All Smiles Tonight doesn't seem to be in them.

That's my tale of woe!!!

George

I've never figured out how to do some of the fancy arrangements I've heard from the group here, but just putting in the chords and selecting a style is pretty easy.

I'd be happy to put together a simple arrangement for you if you'd like.

George,
Just a thought here, you can open a Midi File in BIAB and change the tempo - key etc. and have the option to save as a BIAB file, or Midi File again which ever suits your application. This way you have the choice of both types of file and not confined to BIAB.

James.

Hi Lynn and thanks for your help. Ever since I've had the BIAB in 2002, Ive never tried to make a "track", but I was just saying to a buddy here that I guess I'll have to take the manual and make a simple track. I just need the chords and a simple style with a start (some click clack beats so I know where to start) and an ending. As simple as you can make it.

I can work with it after that. The one I have is in the Key of C.

Geo

Hello James and thanks for that tip. I'd need the tune in a midi format, not sure if I have it or not, but maybe it's available as a MIDI somewhere. I'll have to check that out later. Thanks for that.

Geo
