I found that many songs advance the next chord by half a beat, that is, 1/8 I know that in BIAB, you can use the ^ symbol to move the chord forward 1/8 I tried it a bit. But I found that the guitar sounded rushed and not smooth. Can this problem be solved?

Youtube video: In paradise (when you smile)Song title: In paradise when you smile I wrote this song back in 2006 (or maybe even earlier? - still writing songs today) and originally recorded it with an earlier version of BIAB using an imported midi as the style. In October 2023, I re-recorded it with amended lyrics (the link between the verses and the chorus was obscure), sped it up a little, and with changed accompaniment. The song is about my partner. The drums and piano were generated by Band-in-a-Box and I recorded my bass, ukulele, lead guitars and vocals. The BIAB style used is _BRITPOP.STY (Classic British Pop) I output a wav file for each track and imported into Cakewalk by Bandlab, then replaced tracks other than drums and piano with my own recordings, sometimes inspired by the BIAB track. For vocals, I usually triple track the main vocal and push two of the tracks hard left and right with the volume dropped on each to sit behind my chosen main vocal. In this song, I have also double-tracked the lead guitars. Song Lyrics INTRO VERSE 1 As the curtains come down and the sun’s fingers caress the carpet Like a headache dissipating after long cool drinks of water PRE-CHORUS 1 I can feel it pass – I can feel it slippin’ away it’s slipping away… VERSE 2 My worries and fears are replaced by contentment and peace My greatest joy is to see you safe and at ease PRE-CHORUS 2 I can feel it pass – I can feel the worry slippin’ away it’s slipping away… CHORUS I’m in paradise when you smile I’ve ascended to the gates of heaven for a while Experiencing life on a permanent high I’m in paradise when you smile SOLO over VERSE 1 (first line only) PRE-CHORUS 2 Do you feel it pass – do you feel worries slippin’ away? They’re slipping away… CHORUS I’m in paradise when you smile I’ve ascended to the gates of heaven for a while Experiencing life on a permanent high I’m in paradise when you smile BRIDGE The days of trouble are beyond me Replaced by your love with me Do you feel it pass too – do you feel trouble slippin’ away? It’s slipping away… CHORUS I’m in paradise when you smile I’ve ascended to the gates of heaven for a while Experiencing life on a permanent high I’m in paradise when you smile OUTRO
Is anyone using a an X50 with Biab? If so, does it integrate with Biab very well? My interest is basically using it as a midi controller with Biab. I found one for a very reasonable price and worried if it will integrate well with Biab. I have Biab 2015 currently. I know it was first available in 2001. Thanks, Trax
