Audible Lead In / Volume
Use these settings for the audible drum count-in. You can select any drum instrument for
the count-in. You can choose different count-in rhythms (e.g. Tap on 2 and 4 instead of
1-2-3-4).
Instrument
Choose your pick of drum instruments for the lead-in count.
Pattern
Choose the pattern for your lead-in count from the dropdown list.
Smart Lead-ins can also be set here. A smart lead-in avoids playing the count-in drum
sound during a Melody pickup.
Lead-in Drum count if drums muted
This is great for drummers who play along with Band-in-a-Box and mute the drum track.
Previously, when the drum track was muted or disabled in a song, the count-in drum click
wouldn't play. Use this option to play the drum count-in in all circumstances.
