After setting up 2014 I am getting a N/A in the "Assign real Tracks" dialog for several bass tracks.
According to the info on the application(downloaded) for "realtracks200-205" there are no bass tracks. However the website lists several Neil Swainson bass tracks on the 202 real tracks package. And they are listed that way in the "Assign real Tracks" dialog as in set 202 but N/A. Are they suppose to be in there or not?

Have you installed the updates? Check the support tab. #379 should bring you up to date. In BIAB click on help-what add-ons do I have? Later, Ray

I just downloaded 2014 last night 12/17. That update is for 12/12 and before. I shouldn't have to do that. The application text info from the download does not list the bass tracks at all for 202. Only bouzouki tracks.

Exact same problem discussed at length on forum.

http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads...true#Post226385

I emailed PG support a number of time, though they replied giving new link for set 202 (that didn't work) no solution so far, I don't even think they look at it as a bug.

It has to be since none of set 202 is by that artist, totally different instruments.

Guess its something just to live with, don't have the NA box ticked bottom left corner of realtracks dialog then they won't show.

Probably in my case, I would much prefer them to work on the missing buttons in the further right dropdown menu in the GUI toolbars if screen resolution is set different.

Yep Same as you the same realtracks showing as NA.

The only thing is I am not sure now if they really are part of set 202, since your post says that they clearly are, from somewhere on PGmusic website.

Maybe sone others can reclarify

To be fair if they are not I can understand the mistake as its a big list of realtracks and with so many it would be so easy for PG to make a mistake.

I have tried everything with this, contacting support, redownloading, rebuilding the realtracks set, I just gave up.

I havnt bought 2014 yet but the demo for bouzouki has bass on the track, so this is strange if you can't reproduce what the demo is advertising.

I have all of those tracks listed in my Real Tracks Picker. Click on the Real Tracks icon, choose bass at the upper left and scroll through the bass tracks. I have all of those Swainson tracks there. I hope you can enlarge the pic. Later, Ray

Ray,
They are not there as yours are. Yours are listed as being in set 202 as mine is. However, when I go back to the downloaded application for 200-205 they are not listed in there at all.

I don't know that I would ever use these tracks but it would be nice have them.

Your primary download doesn't necessarily include the latest updates. It won't hurt anything for you to install #379. Updates #376-377-378 are included in #379. There were some tracks missing earlier that have been included in the updates. Later, Ray

Did you try to re-install once more? I just looked at my installation (build 278!) downloaded on the 15th. My bass files of set 202 are there in good working condition.

Actually I had already installed that update. No change. I assume you mean 379 not 279.

Yes, 2 and 3 are awfully close together on a keyboard. blush

What I meant is: did you try to install the respective RealTracks file once more? It could be that the first time there was some action in your computer's inner workings to skip installing (or not writing the directory entry) of these files.

I have exactly the same problem, and everything is up-to-date. What is also odd is that the amount of styles shown in brackets after style 202 is 8, but I only have 7 styles, all bouzouki.

It's also interesting that the bass styles are not on the HD from PGM, although I confess that is not up-to-date....although it does have 8 bouzouki styles, not 7.....just to really confuse me.

Having the same problem and contacted support + live help.
I know its coming up to Christmas and everyone is slowing down but it would be nice to have an acknowledgement from PG that a problem does exist with this and might be sorted when they get the time.

Hey Guys,

I have been made aware of this by several users. We are looking into it. I will be testing several shipping installations to figure out why it is showing up for most and not for others. Hang in there and we will get it addressed.

Thanks,
Rob.

Hi,

Those bass styles aren't part of set 202, they are part of earlier RealTracks sets. So you can just ignore that for now, we'll address that typo in the next patch.
