Hi all.
I select this style.
I click play.
A diaglog box opens
I cancel the diadlog box
The style plays, but without the guitar.
Play the demo in stylepicker and the guitar plays.
I have update 827

Any ideas???
Cheers

what does the dialogue box say? usually they are there for a reason. maybe you are choosing a tempo that one of the realtracks isn't right for. tell us what the box says please

I cannot duplicate the problem. Guitar plays just fine as do all other instruments. No dialogue box, etc ... plays just fine.

I just loaded the Demo into BIAB. Did you do something different?


Cheers,
Mike

This might help figure this out...what package of BIAB are you using? You may have a package that doesn't contain this guitar track but the demo has it.

Hi Bob
Thanks for your time.
Re: _FUNKS16.sty

1. Audition the style in Stylepicker. No problem all 4 instruments play.
2. Select the style for a new song. No chords entered.
3. There is already a C in the first bar as normal
4. A diaglog box opens. The cursor in blue over *.ST2 at the bottom. The top bar is my drive etc.
5. Across the other side at the bottom is ST@ files. Under this Open. Cancel
6. Click open nothing happens. Click cancel the diaglog box disappears and the countdown starts
7. The Bass, Piano and Drums play but no guitar.
8. I just wasted $US 31.90 and downloaded Real Tracks 241 again thinking the guitar bit might be corrupted.
9. No luck
10 Any ideas???
Cheers

I followed your instructions up to item #4. That's where I get lost. I am not getting any indication of what you are seeing and I do not have a dialog box that is opening up at all.

1. After you perform item #2, does the dialog box open up by itself automatically with no intervention on your part? Item #3 is not an action item, just an observation on your part. Is there any action item you are performing between items 2 and 4? Ignore item #3 since, again, is it just your observation.

2. Did you do OPTIONS, RETURN TO FACTORY SETTING to see if that helps?

3. Did you run the Cleanup Routine under HELP-UTILITIES?

4. It would help to include a screen shot. The more detailed data you can provide, the easier it will be to come up with a solution. It's got my interest.

At this point in time, I have to say I am not seeing any problem at my end.

On item #8, I would call PGMUSIC and explain the problem. Since you are a registered user, they will work with you on this. If there is one thing I know about them, they do support their customers.

I've tried this style on my end, and everything works right for me. It would be best if you contact our tech support team, either through the live chat system (the green "Chat Now" button at the top of the page here) or by emailing support@pgmusic.com
