I have heard this in certain RealTracks. It sounds like a breath or similar sound got recorded along with the guitar. I am able to hear it near the 2nd beat in an A chord. I can regenerate and it moves around to a different bar which seems to indicate there is a riff that has this in it! I tried a C chord though several regenerations and did not hear it.

Next time it happens, freeze your MGU/SGU file and send it across to support@pgmusic.com. Point out which bar or bars they need to listen to to hear the inconsistency.
In the meantime, I'll have a listen to the above RT and see if I can get it to do that for me, too.
These are typical sounds on a real recording. You don't hear them when recording MIDI, because that's not an audio recording.
Most of the sounds reported to us are things like string noise, stings buzzing, or the musician breathing, maybe tapping their foot. All considered normal.
When there are large transposes, or large tempo stretches, artifacts can be introduced, which might sound like that too.
I understand fret noise and buzzing strings but breathing on a guitar track seems a bit off! It is noticeable enough that when I use this RT I have to generate again to get rid of this riff unless it will be buried in several other tracks.
I noticed it too. Honestly, it doesn't bother me. It really depends on context. If the arrangement is very sparse and you want a very "clean" sound, then I can understand that it can get in the way. But overall, I find all the imperfections of RTs not only acceptable, but desirable. In fact, I wouldn't want Real Tracks without small imperfections. That's what makes them "Real". Some buzz, some fret noise, some breathing etc. Absolutely love that. Not too much of course, and what is "too much" may depend on personal taste and context, but to me it's an essential part of RTs.

Peter,
Do you have to pay them an additional "non-breathing charge" if they hold their breath? I know I get more bread for gigs at which I have to hold my breath.

Yeah, I generally agree about the slight imperfections but this one gets repeated in a song and about the 3rd time you hear the breathing over the same riff it starts to sound fake rather than real.
But it sounds like PG is ok with it so I'll just work around it and remove that riff when it occurs in the song.

J3 you have certainly come a long way. We learn to deal with the imperfections and idiosyncrasies of BIAB to enjoy its real unique capability. But tell me, you didn't drink the koolaid did you?

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
