Something was likely not followed right in whatever you did there, my friend. It happens.

For example, I have sometimes hit the Gen/Play button in bb and gotten a simply fantastic selection of performances to generate, but in the heat of whatever have hit that darn button AGAIN before the export and that generated another different performance. Export to DAW and sit there scratching mah head...

Another thing that can happen is hearing the nice performance in bb and then either closing that songfile or bb down entirely, then coming back to it later, the Reload of the file and hitting the Play button will generate that entirely different performance as well.

This is the reason for the implementation of the Freeze tracks command, actually.

And still I have managed to forget to Freeze the better performance occasionally.

One trick I've found and use quite often, is to hit the Gen/Play button and then imnmediately Freeze and do a SaveAs under an altered filename, then hit the Gen/Play button again, save that one under a different filename, etc. I might do that several times for a tune and let it sit like that for at least overnight, then come back to it and evaluate each performance with fresh ears, and pick the best one at that time for export to DAW. It can be amazing what the regenerations can accomplish in the way of what is desired and often I get pleasant surprises from working in this fashion as well. Some of those pleasant surprises have changed direction of a project by inserting some little phrase or other that, once transferred to the DAW, can be turned into a musical hook, a repeated backing line through use of edits, things like that.

I try not to get mired up in a rigid mindset about such issues when working up a project because that mindset can block the recognition of those wonderful Serendipity moments, knowmean?
