Hi TexasHeartRush,

Something is amiss somewhere in your setup from what you report.

I am a stickler for intonation and can hear one cent difference easily. Not to brag, but just to let you know that this is not normal operation for Band in a Box at all. If it was, I wouldn't have stuck with the program all these years. <g>

So let's get to troubleshooting this report in an effort to solve your problem:

**I realize that you've already stated that these are all Realtracks that do this, but I need first to know for certain if these intonation problems are found strictly on RealTracks files (the tracknames would be Green for Realtracks) or if there are any MIDI tracks involved (MIDI tracknames are indicated in Yellow).**

If they are MIDI tracks that are out of tune, there is a method of handling that, depending upon what is in use for the MIDI synthesizer. This would be the situation I first suspect here.

If these are indeed all Realtracks that are going desafinado, I've never heard that happen here - yet - and am inclined to think that since the files import into another software and play just fine, BiaB may need to be reset to factory settings in order to have it rewrite a critical internal file that can sometimes become corrupted in the event of a crash, freeze or otherwise ungraceful exit of the program.

**In BiaB, under the Options menu, try selecting the SECOND "Return to Factory Settings" choice, because that one will also re-invpoke the Soundcard and MIDI Wizard, resetting parameters inside that volatile file.**

**Forgive if you've already stated this, but what VERSION of Band in a Box are you using? (use the Help->About to view the report) also please include the Update number reported there.**

**Visiting the BB Support pages and downloading/installing the last posted patch update for your version *may* also solve this problem. There is a link directly to the BB Support pages at the bottom of my posts in the dotsig.**

Again, intonation problems are NOT normal behavior/behaviour for Band in a Box Realtracks at all. This is to include the standard realtracks version as well as the "audiophile" version. The only difference I can hear if using the Audiophile Realtracks is a slightly heightened top of the frequency response curve, so slight that I'd bet the rent that a double blindfold would be quite revealing, if you know what I mean <g>.

Try those suggestions and let us know how it goes, amigo.
