Hi All!
I was working on a solo last night in a project I created.
The "Soloist" feature generated some really cool ideas that I started to transcribe to memorize later.
Unfortunately I forgot to "save" the project after importing the "Soloist" feature, so when I opened the project today the Soloist was completely gone!
I imported the same Soloist (135 Pop 16ths Crusaders) but the solo itself had changed.
Is there anyway that I can find the same solo I had worked on last night again?
I also can't seem to generate "new" solos once a solo has been selected.
BIAB seems to play the same solos over and over until I pick a completely different Soloist.
Shouldn't I be able to generate new solos with the same soloist each time I play the project (song)?

The solos generated are different each time. That also applies to generating the same soloist number, the solos will be different. If you want to save the exact solo, you need to freeze the track (which you can do from the Freeze button, or the soloist radio button.
Have Fun!

To add to what Peter has said ...
It sounds like the Soloist track is frozen. This will happen automatically when you save the file after creating a solo. The frozen state of a track can be seen by an asterisk next to the track's name. If this is the case, right-click on the track's name and unfreeze the track. Also, to generate new solos, it's necessary to (a) unfreeze the track and (b) right-click on the Soloist track and select "(re)Generate this Realtrack".
Hope this helps,
Noel

So is there a way to "recall" a solo or part of a solo that has already been "regenerated"?
As I said, I found 4 measures of a solo that I really loved. I starteed to transcribe it mentally, and forgot to save it when I shut down BIAB.
Am I out of luck, or can find a way to do this?

I think the only thing you can do is to keep regenerating said Soloist over the same chord changes and songfile in the hopes that it may assemble something close to what you had before.

Sounds tedious, but I'll give it a go!
Thanks Mac!

You likely know this, but there is already notation (transcription) shown for the solos. Just open the notation window to see it.
Have Fun!

Yes Peter, I do already have this information.
However, It's good to be reminded that the next time I hear a solo (or part of one), I should immediately print it out, or as others have suggested, "Freeze" the track!
There's always a "Learning Curve" to contend with when dealing with an audio program with a multitude of features such as BIAB.
The good news is, the more we learn, the more we realize just how powerful a program we're dealing with, which makes the program that much more useful!!
It's not what you're "Playing", It's what you're "Saying"!
