Hi, I've somehow mucked up my Song Settings or something. I'm using BIAB 2013 and with real tracks. No matter what I do I can't get an extended chord on the end of a song - the last chord only lasts 1 bar exactly. No difference when I turn off "Loop Overall".
It used to work fine - I have the "Generate 2 bar ending etc" and the "Generate 4 bar ending for Real Tracks" selected - but for about a week now biab's been giving me these truncated ends, so I've probably stuffed up a Preference setting or something similar...
I've tried everything I can think of - anyone got any ideas?
May thanks for any answers!

No answer but I'm having the same problem and it started with my upgrade to 2013. I've experimented with every setting available but the problem persists. Interestingly I can sometimes get the ending on certain rhythm tracks - but them only. For my last mix, I had to cut and paste an ending in my DAW. Thought about contacting tech but keep thinking I can figure it out.

Hello,

I would be happy to assist, if you could send us a song that demonstrates this to Support@pgmusic.com I can take a look for you.

Thanks,
Rob.

Thanks Rob - I've attached two versions of a song for you to that email address you gave.

Hopefully you can shed some light on this...

Cheers

It would also help if you could send a m4a file, so we are hearing it the same way that you are. The endings are sounding fine to me on the ones that I've tested (just tested random songs, not yours), so we'd need to know that we are hearing the same thing.


Have Fun!

Thanks PG folks! Sorry I'm late on following up. I'm sending an SGU and a screen shot of an error message that I get on occasion.

Bud, I'm guessing it's a "settings" problem. Have you tried Return To Factory Settings as a test?

I am very impressed with the new, more realistic endings in v2013 so you may want to try the above solution. Next, I would try a full reinstall.

The new endings should knock your socks and mukluks off. They are that good!

Thanks...but I don't see that option anywhere?? Last week I submitted several files to PG Music and, hopefully, they will be able to determine my issue(s).

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but after downloading the complete BIAB Real Tracks again and reinstalling everything to no avail I was about to tear the rest of my hair out when I noticed (for the first time, obviously) those little pictures with names under them, including RealTrks.

I swear I've never noticed them before, and definitely never clicked them.

On clicking, I found Real Tracks Preferences, where High Quality Pitch changing AND Use 4 bar endings for Real Tracks were UNSELECTED!!!

I selected them, rebooted the program and Viola! the endings were back to normal.
How I missed this I really don't know, (and I don't know how they ever became unselected) but it's now fixed, so thank you everybody who tried to help me and apologies for wasting your valuable time...

Whoo hoo I'm so happy!!! :-)
