Hi

Just got BINAB 20111 and loaded a song in real band. I was trying to use the guitar window to learn the notes and fingering position but although it loads there are no notes on the fretboard when the song is playing. Read the help files but without much luck any help would be
appreciated.
Cheers

Did you have the guitar track highlited?
Is it a MIDI track (these work with fret view)?
Was the track muted?

What are you using for midi device and drivers?

the RealBand new features PDF mentions real charts and the guitar window in the same paragraph as though they are related.. so I'm thinking that real chart enabled real tracks might be able to drive the guitar window even in the absence of MIDI... but I just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how, with no luck.

Did you open the realchart before trying?
Go to notation..

Ooookayyy... apparently I have my dumb on today.

I opened one of the demo projects in Real Band...
Clicked on the guitar part (audio not MIDI)...
clicked on the NOTATION button...
Audio edit window appears instead of a notation staff...
(Is that what should have happened?)

in answer to your question: apparently not.

I think only some have charts available .. not all.

It was worth a shot.

From 'New Features-
RealCharts for RealTracks

RealCharts are now implemented for those RealTracks that support them, with a menu option for generating RealCharts when generating RealTracks. This is a powerful tool for learning, arranging, and chart printing.

RealCharts Notation and the Guitar fretboard are improved for some guitar styles (e.g. Brent Mason). Now you can see bends in blue on the guitar fretboard.


sorry
my fault apparently..

it wasn't a Brent Mason style... good point ... I will try again
(I don't usually mess with notation since I play by ear... so this is all unfamiliar territory for me...
If I had a 3 piece suit, the defendant would rise.)

Right click on a empty track and click on Also generate Real Chart and it will put a check mark there beside it. Then select and generate a real track from the Real Track Picker. Be sure that the real track has a N or Gt in the left row next to the artist name. N means it can generate charts and Gt means it can do tab and chart notation. It then makes a midi track below the audio track which then you can view the charts

All right! step by step instructions, my favorite way of learning!
(I just tried it successfully... Thanks for taking time to reply! I appreciate it!)

actually the only reason I was trying to figure this out was to see if I could help the original poster. Your reply is full of points that I would not have figured out easily on my own, even after spending the whole day reading the RB manual and experimenting

So thanks to you, Brian, Jorel now knows the answer to his question!
