Generate 2 Bar Ending for This Song Default =
You can disable the ending for a certain song. You can disable the endings for all songs
by clearing the checkmark for the “Allow Any Endings” setting in the Preferences
dialog.
Start the 2 bar ending early
The usual Band-in-a-Box ending is 2 bars appended to the end of the song. This option
gives you an alternative to end the song on the last bar of the song. Band-in-a-Box will
still play an ending on the chord that you specify, and the ending will occur as a 2 bar
phrase beginning 2 bars before the end of the form. This results in more natural endings
for many songs.
Note: “Auto Endings”
If you‘ve made a style, and haven’t included an ending, a 2-bar ending can be
generated automatically, based on the style.
Fadeout ending # bars
You can quickly choose a fadeout ending. Just press the Fade button and Band-in-a-Box
will fade out the last “X” bars of the song (you can specify how many bars). Or
customize the fadeout with precise values for each bar.
Solos should have a “bluesy” feel.
Check this setting for solos with more syncopation, flatted thirds, and sevenths.
