Another BBMO Newb- Song import

[Heywood_ja]

Hello,

Just trying to import previous users work from Song Library to create set lists:

Alphabetical list of the 8,076 songs in the Song Forum and Song Matcher as of August 6, 2024

After struggling to find songs in Singular Sound’s Song Files forum, I created an alphabetical list of all the songs. You can access it at BeatBuddySongList.com. If you people find this helpful it might warrant a sticky to keep it at the top. On August 6, 2024, I updated BeatBuddySongList.com. It now has 8,706 songs. This includes 6,147 songs from the songs from Singular Sound’s Latest User Generated Content topics - Singular Sound Forum and 1,929 songs from Singular’s Song Matcher. Singular c…

The help there is based on Loader or BBM.

When I import a song from an Extracted zip it seems to go only into the Intro section.

Is this intentional? I was reading that some of these songs are intended to be One Tap to Play.

But is there anyway to take a beat from the intro (Which has 147 measures) and move to the main?

Also many of these songs have significant number of “Unkowns” in the unfolded list, are these midi parts?

one Example is Allman Bros Sweet Melissa 99 Bars With 13 unknown instruments

Or Harvest Moon with 3 versions And 56 unknown instruments

You might want to read p11 of the BEATBUDDY MANAGER Online Manual as it could help you understand one-press (OPB) songs. If you see forum songs with DOP, OPB & OPBk in the subject line, it indicates that these are one-press songs.

Yes, it is.

Yes, you can use the BBMO Copy Track and then Paste Track to copy the part from the Intro to say, Part 1 of the song. You’ll then have to delete the Intro part from the song.

The Unknowns indicates that you don’t have the user-created drum set imported to the BBMO. In the songs that I post to the forum, I indicate the name of the drum set that the song calls for. If you’re only interested in the one-press with drums, just import and edit the v1 version of my songs.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I still can’t move the intro track, but I will keep playing with the software.

I also think the “unknown” are a kind of pedal sound as they cover the whole bar as a solid trigger and repeat.

I did read the the guide, but it seems more for someone coming over from previous software vs first time noodle.

Side note- I have Studio one, so will be trying to check how some of these show up in the DAW.
