I then rendered the song to MP3 format and when I play it back, the ending cuts off prematurely not allowing the instruments to fade. What I did to correct this was to create a separate AUDIO track and record nothing past the faded ending in the MIDI file. When I rendered it to MP3 the ending was fine. Nice long fading instrument sounds. Is there a better way of doing this that I am not aware of? Mark

Grab the end of, say, the last symbol hit, and drag it out an extra measure or two to extend it's sustain duration. This will force the song to play a couple of measures longer when rendering, and will catch the rest of your fade. Terry BIAB/RB 2018 PlusPak.

In the busier forums good information tends to get buried in the avalanche of new posts https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ey71h8ep047758h/AAC12jNM0Hz9Q8zsh5iDeqNHa?dl=0

Solution- record a few seconds of nothing on another blank track that moves the end of file back. Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Another way I've found, if you're dealing with Realtracks that cut off early, is just to change the song length from, say, 68 measures to 70 or 71 in the song length box, then just highlight the last section of that Realtrack and regenerate.
