BB has the option to allow for decay of instruments at the end of the song. With Real Band I am having trouble. There is an abrupt finish but I seem to be unable to find the same features as BB to allow for the natural decay of the instruments. I may be missing something obvious. Any ideas?

Not a lot of information to give a good answer. You may have already done this.


Give this a try.

In RB,on the chord sheet page - just as in BIAB, place three dots ... after the last chord. IE: G...

and include 4 to 6 blank measures after the measure with the dotted chord to allow for a natural decay.

For me, I would extend the song by recording a few measures of anything (preferably 'nothing' most likely) on any track.

I do this to make the 'end of file marker' further down the timeline.
This makes the file's end point later in the timeline ... again, just my work flow.
If the file ends too soon, some VST plugins (or anything else) may stop unexpectedly.
One (unexpected) side effect of this can be that a VST effect buffer starts 'emptying' when you rewind and start again, since it never got time to empty in the first place. Then you may hear a fairly loud click/glitch on hitting 'play'.

Like I said, just something to check, and part of my normal workflow when I see this behavior.

It makes sense when you think about it; if the file stops playing before the reverb/ring has stopped being sent, the sound just stops. (yeah it can be irritating)
Simply letting the song play longer sometimes lets things resolve.


Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I also do what RHARV does to allow a little room at the end of the song for fades and decays.

And some MIDI synths just cut off completely at the end of song, with no decay at all, so this helps overcome that.
