Hello Forum,
For some reason, a project I'm working on has a silent bar despite a chord being there. Every instrument drops out. I checked both chord and bar settings. There's nothing going on there but I reset them anyway in case. I tried typing in a new chord. Nothing. Tried regenerating. Nothing. Here's the song memo:
Key=Dm , Tempo 105, Length (m:s)=4:34
4 bar intro, 112 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 116. Repeat x1 chorus
No Melody
No Soloist track.
Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0,
Style is PNOMOOD1.STY (PianoMood1 - Reflective Soundtra)
Style MIDI Instruments are : Fretless Electric Bass (36), Acoustic Piano (1), Strings (49), Pad-Warm (Slow) (90),
Loop in Song: World\Arabian - forever_85_bansuri_flute_2_c_sharp_minor.wav (MUTED for future experimentation)
Loop in Song: World\Arabian - forever_85_violin_section_2_c_sharp_minor.wav (MUTED for future experimentation)
RealTracks in song: 3670:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewAgeHalfNoteChords Ev 085
RealTracks in song: 3724:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopIndieSteady8thsBrent Ev 085
MIDI Drums :41 Brushes Kit (41)
Any ideas?

BYOBand,
A couple of thoughts that spring to mind are...
1) Are any of the tracks frozen?
2) Is the problem bar the same number of beats as the rest of the song?
As om has indicated, it's quite difficult to solve this problem, without seeing the SGU/MGU file.

Good suggestions, above.
My "go to" would also be a possible frozen track.

Hi Noel,
Just checked and all the BIAB tracks were indeed frozen. Unfroze and regenerated. Thank you!
