I would like to find out which styles use RT #2498 which is Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm RockabillySwingKevin Sw 165 I am having trouble using that particular RT because when I generate the song, there are very noticeable gaps in the piano playing but only for that RT I would like to find which over styles use it so I can load them and see if I am having the same problem. Here is what I am getting Any ideas. Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) gaps.jpg (568.55 KB, 9 downloads) Last edited by jcland; 12/14/22 05:37 AM.

Right clicking on a "realtrack" brings up the menu with a new menu item choice to "Launch stylepicker showing styles with selected RT". Very cool new feature.

OP Joseph Land Expert Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,066 Springfield, MO	Thanks I found it. Now on to the problem at hand. I loaded the demo songs for the following styles that use RT# 2498: _ODDSTAR.STY _RBILLYSW.STY _RBILLYFX.STY _JUMPING.STY _BALBOA.STY _FURL.STYU All of them have rather large and noticeable gaps in the generated piano track. Here is what I get with the _FURL.STY All of the other styles look the same at various locations. Can someone load those demos, generate the song and then look at the audio waveform for the piano and let me know if you get the same. If you mute all the other tracks while the song is playing, you can obviously hear the dropout. Now so far I do not seem to get the problem except with that particular RT in question.

If you can go to the folder C:\bb\Soloists and look for the file RPno0232.ST2. If you can tell us the Date Modified for this file it will help us out. If you don't run Band-in-a-Box from your internal drive and only run it from the external drive than instead of C: the 'C' will be replaced by which ever letter your external drive is. Thanks, Dave
