I've got a pretty good sounding track in BIAB. I have a couple of Style changes within, for drum groove purposes. I also added a Bass RT. Now I've opened this BIAB in RB, and the Style changes didn't happen and the Bass RT didn't happen. In fact, there's no bass generating at all. In RB, I've got all MIDI tracks, and when I try to generate a Bass RT, nothing happens. Now, the Bass RT I'm selecting says "N/A (RBass059ST.2 isn't in BB) Bass, Electric, SmoothCool SW16 100". When I audition it, I like the sound and it seems like it would fit the tune I'm doing, and my tempo is 100. Why won't this generate?

I tried changing the Track type to MIDI, then to Audio - Stereo, then to Audio - Mono, as well as tried changing the RT to a different Bass RT (N/A Bass, Electric, PopCrossover Sw16 075), but it still won't generate. What gives?

Not to mention the Style changes within the tune that didn't come over from the BIAB file.

N/A means the realtrack is 'not available'. Try one that is not labeled "N/A"

You could try to rebuild your realtrack list in RB and see if the N/A goes away, or at the bottom is a checkbox that enables showing realtracks that are unavailable, uncheck that to see just the realtracks that are available.

N/A may mean it is way out of the tempo range, or it may mean it is missing.
Open the realtracks window like you are going to generate and see if rebuilding the list makes some of those tracks lose the N/A label.
I hope rebuilding solves the issues of the N/A, and also allows the original realtrack to generate once again in RB if you re-open the BiaB file..

I realized that if I open the BIAB file in BIAB, it can't find the Real Track, either. I don't understand. I do have the Real Tracks stored on an external drive, not in BB folder, but that wasn't a problem before. I've gone into Options in each program and pointed it toward the Real Tracks folder on my I: drive and it still doesn't work. I tried rebuiding the list and no joy.

When I press Rebuild in BIAB, I get this:

"149 Realtrack have folder in I:\RealTrack\, but no r*.st2,r*.xt2 files in the BB folder.. Either find missing r*.st2 and r*.xt2 files and copy them to the BB folder or re-install Realtracks. Then press REBUILD button to re-build the list"

Email that to support (or use live chat). It will mean something to them. Sounds like a file is corrupted.

Seems I have seen that before but do not recall the solution, sorry.

Rharv is correct either the RealTrack is missing or the ST2 files relating to it were not installed to the right location. The easiest solution it to carefully install the RealTrack Set again specifying the correct locations. Alternatively you can...


- search the BB folder for the term *.ST2 (which gets you a list of all the .ST2 files in the BB folder and subfolders)

- Sort these by location -> Note any .ST2 files which do not reside in the root area of the BB folder. (for example if you find any ST2 files which mistakenly reside in the BB/Soloist folder or any other sub-folder of BB) Move these particular files back into the root area of the BB folder with the rest of the ST2 Files.
