BIAB 2021 build 804 64bit
I have a song that uses the Celtic Hornpipe Swing 8th _HRNPIPE.STY style. Since upgrading it won't play the guitar track.
I did manage to get it to play once by using the guitar real track on another song, then switching back to this song, but it has stopped working again.
Any idea what I need to do to get it playing again.
Thanks

Hi Andy,
What RT # is the Guitar track that won't play - I'm assuming that this is a RealTrack that you added? Or is it the one in the style - RT#1412 (Guitar, Electric, Rhythm, CelticHornpipe Sw16)? Also, if you add this RealTrack to a new song, does it play?

It's the one in the style RT#1412. If I add it to a different style it plays and then plays in the original song. If I then play something else and go back to the original song it doesn't play.
In my tests I used a song that uses the _GJBALAD.STY Gypsy Jazz style. I changed guitar1 to use the RT#1412 real track and it plays. Going back to the original song, it then plays correctly.

I've found another style where the guitar doesn't play. _J085_GB.STY Cool Jazz Ballad with RT#484: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Sw 085.
I haven't managed to find a style that will play it so far. So I can't get it to work at all.

Strange... Regarding #484, In your RealTracks folder, do you have a folder called "Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Sw 085" containing about 60 files?
If you set the song to exactly 85bpm, does it play?

Yes, that folder exists with 60 files in it.
I've found that if the song is the first one played after starting BIAB, it plays correctly, even at the 75 tempo the song is set to. If I play a different song first and go back to this one, then it doesn't play, even with the speed set to 85.
In case it matters, the song loaded first uses the _BALFRED.STY style.
Regards

We figured out why this is happening and it is fixed in the next build, which will be available soon.

This build is still in pre-release testing, however you could still try it out, and install the previous build if you do have any problems: https://nn.pgmusic.com/pgfiles/support/patches/bb2021_win_update_build807.exeI believe this should also fix the bluetooth speaker problem.

Thanks, that seems to have fixed the missing guitar tracks.
It also seems to have fixed the bluetooth problem. The first time I tried it, running BIAB with the speaker off, then turning it on, BIAB crashed when I hit play. But subsequent tests have worked, so I guess something needed to sort itself out the first time in.
Regards
Andy

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
