Just want to ask PG if they have any idea when the Bent Mason,and Quinn Bachand real guitar tracks will be sorted re the shots and holds? It is not all of them but certainly most of the newer ones. I have psoted RT number before, but at this time I am just asking when the fix is planned.

It is getting abit tiresome to create second guitar part with an acoutic guitar part JUST to play the holds! IE muting it and then re-muting after every hold in a song!

Hello Everyone

I have been following the forum for a couple of months now .

And to be honest was looking to get my self indoors.

I do have a few questions about biab.

Although I have read a lot on the forum, and learned a lot.

I do need to take the next step, which I have done.

To ask a few/a lot of questions/

1st one where can I upload songs too.

not new in any aspect to this ,I have done mostly wav

samples until now.

What seems to me baffling in biab is when you render , why

do you go through a dxi. software, Is that not a midi thing...?

But we have realtracks audio..?


Am I missing something.

Regards

John

John, I'd recommend you create a new thread for this post as it really is nothing to do with the OP and consequently will get ignored as no-one who is not interested in RT's will ever see it smile

Did you try using a DI version ? do they have the same problem ??
If you don't want to wait for PG to fix things you can try below.

I may of suggest this to you before ???
Have a look in the RealTrack picker Holds Column and see what number Hold the RT uses then list the order by the same artist as Brent uses a Tele normally and see if he uses any other Hold numbers.

Change the Hold the RT uses to one of the others or another similar sounding hold (there is no list to say what guitar the Holds were recorded on Unfortunately !!!!)

You can play or just drag into RealBand set temp to 85bpm first, the first one in the list I think is the A chords,
so there will be a Hold played for 4 bars the 4 shots.
X:\bb\RealTracks\Library\Holds
X:\bb\RealTracks\Direct Input\Library\Holds

Save a note of what Hold the RT use before changing.

Yes, we've released a good update of a lot of the holds. Note that this is part 1 of 2. The second one should be ready in a couple of weeks. But we didn't want to 'hold' things up because this one fixes the newest holds for 2017. (There were a few holds that needed fixing in 2017).
Part 2 should address some of the direct input holds in particular, and matching the volume of them.

So if you see any anomalies, please report them and the fix would find its way to part 2.

One other point, if you've customized the holds by editing them using the soloist editor, you should first, before installing the update, backup default.sol and rtextra.bin in the bb folder. Because these updates will overwrite those files.


Have Fun!
