People who use Band-in-a-Box for soloing practice will likely turn the lead-in off to
allow endless looping uninterrupted by the lead-in count.
Play Lead In even if Intro present.
If a song has an intro, it’s usually not necessary to play the 2 bar lead-in count. There's a
new option to always omit the lead-in if an intro is present. If you would like the lead-in
bars to be played even if an intro is present in the song, set this feature to “On.”
Lead-in Type
You can specify to have Band-in-a-Box play 2 bars of a drum pattern instead of the
count-in. You may prefer hearing the drum beat to a simple count-in, since it provides
more information about the upcoming groove.
