Saving Settings to Presets
You can save your reverb types as presets, and the current settings will be saved with the song in a
Preferences/PGReverbSettings.bin file.
To save the current settings to a preset, type in a name for your preset in the “Preset Name” field.
Then click on the red Save a Preset arrow and choose a location in the Preset list. You can write over an
existing name.
A prompt will ask you to confirm that you want to save the preset.
Select [Yes] to save the new preset to the chosen location.
Auto Reverb
Enable “Auto-Add Reverb to RealTracks” to automatically apply preset amounts of reverb to RealTracks according
to the instrument type. No reverb is added to the Bass part, for example, but most instruments get reverb.
If you just want more or less reverb added overall, you can adjust the “Strength %.” For example, the default Band-
in-a-Box reverb setting is 40 for most tracks. If you set the strength to 75%, the Band-in-a-Box becomes 30.
You can save the current settings as the Default Reverb.
Click on [Restore Defaults] to go back to the original “factory” reverb settings for
Band-in-a-Box Default Reverb.

With the plug-in mode, Band-in-a-Box is open as a small window, and acts as a plug-in for your favorite DAW
