I have a song I have been working on where I have muted all instruments except the pedal steel on the first bar using Bar Settings, and then setting all tracks Back to Normal at Bar 2. This way, I get a nice 3 note pedal steel pick up lick, before the whole band comes in at Bar 2. It's been working fine. I get the click count in, then in the Mixer setting the red Mute goes on in all tracks but the Pedal Steel for that first bar and then the Mute goes off.
Now, since I did the Version 829 update, the tracks are still muted for the first bar, but the Mute doesn't show up on the Mixer anymore, which doesn't bother me much, BUT now I don't hear the Count In clicks. The only way I get the Count In clicks back is to Un-mute the drums. With this new version, somehow muting the drums also mutes the count in.
Please fix
Thanks

Hello Boots49,
I was able to reproduce this and confirmed it worked in older versions. I'll go ahead and report it.
Thanks,
Ember
Cheers,
Ember

Boots,
We will look into it.
Meantime, if you want the drum countin and a mute of the drums at bar 1.
you can achieve the same effect by typin the chords in bar 1 with a rest, followed by the instruments that you don’t want to rest.
For example, if the chords in bar 1 are C and Fm, and the pedal steel part Is on the 5th track (strings track) , you would type
C.s Fm.s
The “.” makes it rest everything, and the “s” points to track 5 which is usually called the strings track. The possibilities are b,d,p,g,s for bass, drums, piano, guitar and strings. If you can’t remember those letters, you can right click on chord options, and do it with mouse clicking,
That method gives better musical results, since you’re not chopping off the sound at the bar line, BiaB is told to musically rest in those bars, which means no pickup notes etc. so you get better phrases as a result.
And of course you get your drum lead in.
Have Fun!
