I'm having problems with the 'guitar' playing different chords than what's written... I have the embellishment turned off.. it'll show a Gm7, and the piano plays that, but when I mute the piano, the guitar is playing some wrong chord - so I have to go to chord builder and re-do it... this happens a LOT - I normally use the cool jazz style, if that means anything... I also noticed the guitar does not play the +5 note of a 7+5 chord - it plays a straight 7... the piano plays the chord properly.... what's the deal here? I'm using BIAB '08.
Also - is there anyway of altering the rhythm of the piano parts? I use Vibes a lot instead of piano (again, mostly the Cool Jazz style) and it plays sometimes on the beat, but a lot OFF the beat or not at all, and it sounds like 'the band' is making mistakes.... Can I get it to play on the beat ALL the time like the guitar rhythm?
Thanks....

Hi dmrodes
There are several ways to get around your concern
1. Find a piano backing from another style you like and add it to the Cooljazz style in the "Hybrid" feature
2. Many times I find the guitar part and piano part clash - so I choose the guitar in the piano channel and mute the original guitar channel
Hope this gives you other options

Works great.

If I put vibes in the guitar channel, then I 'lose' the guitar part...???
Still want to know why the guitar sometimes plays totally WRONG chords..
and why it won't play the +5 note in a 7+5 chord...
One more thing - I'd like the drums to be 'louder'... I already have them set at the max (127).
Do I have to lower the volume on all the rest of the instruments?
Raising the 'pan' helps, but then it's only coming out one side....
THANKS!

Hi dmrodes
If you put the vibes onto the guitar channel it will play vibes with the same pattern as the original guitar -and when you revert back to guitar it will play the original guitar patterns
Regarding the "wrong" chords - try another style as there have been rare problems with some mainly early release styles - but if you use Hybrid feature you can combine a correct pattern from another style and keep the Cool Jazz (jazcool. was style disc 5) patterns for the rest
With some "wrong" chords it seems to be that a simpler or basic chord or replace/trick it with an alternative chord sometime works better. It may also be a corrupt file which a "return to factory settings" should help
Are you using RealDrums because you can adjust the global volume of them in the +/- db RealDrums set up page - or - if you are using midi drums then open Opt > Prefences and tick the box near the bottom - Reduce other part volume when clicking past 127" - this reduces the volume equally on all other channels
Make sure that all you other master volumes are turned up on the computer soundcard - VSC DXi etc
