Hit Regenerate and see if the lick you are interested in gets loaded. Repeat Regens until it does. Then hit the Freeze button.

The cool thing about this program is that it will generate many different versions. If it only did one certain lick it would be fairly useless and BORING....since everyone would be getting the same exact music if they used the same player.

I have generated up to 5 different tracks for one solo, using envelopes to pick and choose what parts are actually played.

I have also done what Mac suggested.... hitting that regenerate button and listening to see if I liked what it did.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Navigate to the RealTracks folder that contains the raw realtracks file using Windows Explorer, then use Media Player of some sort to listen to the entire raw performance that particular RealTrack is derived from - and see if your lick is in there somewhere.


It might be the chord combinations used, too, which may not be "calling" that particular lick when assembling the RealTrack for your song.

In that case, go back and re-check the Demo song by loading it into BB (NOT using the "play via internet' option) - and find where that lick is being played, make a note of the type of chord or progression it shows up over and compare to your songfile. Sometimes simply slightly changing the chord entered in your target song can "call" a certain riff or lick. For example, maybe entering a straight "C" chord won't call it, but changing that C to a C7, or Cmaj7 might.
