Hello All,

Many of you were kind of enough to help me solve any issue with my fonts not being present after I did I (sort of) windows 10 re-install.

Now, when I load a file with a MIDI supertrack present in a song I created, there is no sound! I loaded some MIDI demos, and there are no sounds from the MIDI tracks from the loaded demos!

What do I do? Is it a driver issue? I have not had to with drivers for MIDI for years. I have been spoilt, where they have been set up for me and I accepted the default.

I am keep running into little problems like this. I really do not want to do a reinstall, but may have to..

I look forward to this forum's helpful suggestions.

I also just noticed now that some of the track names are preceded by N/A - "N/A 2857: Harmonica, backround..." for example, in the track listing (green text). Was this here before.

Two items:

re: MIDI, go to Options > MIDI / Audio Driver setup, and make sure your MIDI device is selected. This might be a VSTi (as shown) or an external hardware device. See first picture.

Re: N/A. This means that the RealTracks are Not Available. If you have an Audiophile version, and the RealTracks are on an external drive, point to that drive from Options > Preferences > RealTracks (see second picture).

Thank you for your help!

The location of the Realtracks (and RealDrums) was indeed pointed to my d drive, to the correct folder, as you show in the pic's. Strangely, however, the N/A prefix appears.

I went back in and selected it again, even though it was already selected, and it worked for both RealTracks and RealDrums. Very bizarre. But thank you for your help, I would not have attempted without your post.

On the Midi topic, I deselected "Use VSTi/DXi Synth" and it is playing back the MIDI track now, presumably using the Microsoft Wavetable synth. Thank you for your help on this one, too. If I select this, then choose Coyote WT (as you have in your pic), there is no sound. I think I am ok with wavetable.

It looks like I am back on track. Thank you for your support!

I see you are up late... but are in Melbourne. I grew up in Melbourne (Mulgrave/Wheeler's Hill)... what part of town are you from, if I may ask?

Did we have this convo about 10 years ago?

PS: Go, Saints!

Eltham actually, amongst the eucalyptus trees, hills and bush-land setting.

Not sure about any 'convo'?

(St Kilda are currently sitting in 11th place on the ladder. Sorry frown )

Tom,

With the Realtracks N/A, it could be that you need to rebuild the database.

1) Go to Realtrack picker (see 1, 2 on the graphic below)

2) Select "Rebuild and Fix" (3, on the graphic below; it's at the bottom of the screen)

Also, have you installed the latest update? The update can be downloaded and manually installed from the below URL.

Regards,
Noel

If the above suggestions for setting up the RealTracks folder in the Preferences, and Rebuilding does not work try checking your download manager to make sure your RealTracks are installed. full instructions for that are here: https://www.pgmusic.com/tutorial_downloadmanager.htm

If you contact us, we can also double check that the particular Style you are trying to use is included in your PAK.

The O/P has previously advised that he is running Audiophile on build 840, so presumably should have everything.

Convo - conversation. I do recall chatting to someone about Melbourne a while back on the forum, likely someone else.

Thank you again.

(Yes, 11th, but not mathematically eliminated).

If you are every getting N/A messages in regards to RealTracks - and this is more so for anyone else that may stumble across this thread in the future seeing as your problem has already been resolved by our helpful forum users - if you have an UltraPAK or higher and you go to Help | What Add-Ons Do I Have and look under Not Found, it will state what RealTracks and Drums are not found and maybe are missing (either due to needing to set up custom folder locations, in the event of a download where RealTracks were set, etc). You can use this as a guide to help narrow down what the issue might be or if something was missed during install.


Cheers,
Ember
