The RealTracks endings are a mess. This explains why the jazz tunes fadeout in the demo. I wish I would have known this before I bought the product.

PGMusic offers a 30-day money back guarantee, if you're that disatisfied.
Personally, I think all the other things BIAB/RealBand/RealDrums/RealTracks/MIDI Styles/Harmonies/Soloists/etc do far outweigh the issues with endings.
I'll live with a fade-out (or even abrupt) endings for now until they fix holds (which they say they will do, but I can see the complexity of doing so - that was discussed in another thread).

I have seen other threads where the complexity of implementing holds in realtracks have been discussed and I can appreciate the problems involved, but I think that holds on endings are probably a little bit easier to implement than elsewhere. There are usually only two or three alternate ending provided with each realtrack and these are (presumably) specifically recorded 'ending' loops. The option to have one (or all) of those endings ring out and fade away with a natural decay that lasts for an extra bar or two beyond the two bar ending would be great and sound much more like a normal song ending then the abrubt halt that we currently get.
I have simulated this in one or two songs by exporting the realtracks to my DAW (Cubase) and editing the last note of each realtrack within Melodyne to stretch it out over an extra bar or two. This is a really fiddly and time consuming process but it (kinda) works. It would be great if BIAB could do this automatically.
Regards, Aubrey

This is not a strength of the program but I have over 200 jazz tracks that I have created. In some cases the endings were ok and in other cases a few minutes of tweaking and experimenting solved the problems. If you want great jazz tracks there is no program that will come close to the tools you already have. Any poweful software has a learning curve - take the time to learn - you won't be disapointed. I play live jazz and I can tell you the first time a tune is played the endings are challenging and some times a train wreck even with fine live musicians.
Good luck! My 2 cents.

thanks for the response....I did the same thing using Sonar. I just stretched the last note on the cymbal and bass. That made it decent for the recording. I mainly bought the Realtracks for the guitar, bass, and drums. It makes for a nice rhythm section with the vibraphone.

I was explaining the RTs to a friend last night but had to add the proviso re holds, shots and endings. Yes, the endings MUST be worked out. ASAP
