Hi can anyone shed a bit of light on this .

When I start real band I enter a few chords on the chord sheet and press play.

The first chord blinks black for a second and it wont play .

If I generate the chord sheet to real track it plays...?

Any help appreciated ,

Are you talking about the bar labeled -1 or 1 in your image?

If Bar -1, it has no MIDI data so it does nothing until generated. Once generated the song has an audio track with data on it.

RB doesn't generate when you hit play.
You have to generate once to create something.

Then it won't generate again until you tell it to generate again.
One of the differences between RB and BiaB is that BiaB regenerates every time you hit play, so things change every time.
RB lets you build it right once and not worry about losing anything unless you intentionally generate or record over it. But you have to generate once.

Unless you make the first 8 tracks BB tracks, then RB behaves more like BiaB.
To try this, right-click a track, then click Track-> Make the first 8 tracks BB tracks (or close).

The first 8 tracks become blue and are now those BiaB type tracks ..


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Since you're "getting started" as you say, with Real Band.... you enter a chord, hit playback and nothing comes out of the speakers.....

But... you can generate it to real tracks and it plays as audio....

my first question is, did you install a default synth for playback of the midi things?

Whatever default synth you're using in BiaB should also be installed as the default for RB as well.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
