Real Tracks shots/holds problem #127753 09/01/11 03:59 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

Allow me a few questions, I'll spread them over several threads for clarity's sake. What's up with shots/holds in many Real Tracks, they either play nothing or some pretty useless low register stuff completely unlike the (great sounding) track itself ? Ex: B3, Background Pop Ev 120 repro: whatever Real Style, add organ, key of C @ 120, shot on the "1" of a bar, doesn't get any more generic than that - user error ? - installation error ? - default behaviour ? (in that case please file under improvement request !) Thanks, Rhino

Also, make sure Shots/Holds are supported for that instrument. Determine this in the Assign RT dialog column called Holds. If a number is there, it is supported. R

I believe I have the latest versions, "RealTracks 122-136 Updates - July 6 to July 12 2011" Inside my Real Tracks folder there is a folder "Library" containing the folder "Holds" , 1,36 GB (1.467.496.528 bytes), 2232 files, 206 folders i.e. H:\Real Band\RealTracks\Library\Holds Does that look ok ? Thanks, Rhino
