When i choose real track "Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzFast Sw 250" for a song,> the program generate a track in a other style (in a style of "Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzBallad Sw 110"), and wonder if i can change that?

________________________________

When i choose real track "Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzFast Sw 250" at the page "Assign RealTrack to Track, it sounds fine via the "memo" play button, then it play the "Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzFast Sw 250
Warm solid acoustic bass tone, playing uptempo Gypsy Jazz. ", that fit perfectly to the style i want). When i on other hand click on "Generate Track", and go to the song for listening, i hear something else., like a slow not at all fitting bassline., - not even close to a Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzFast Sw 250, playing uptempo Gypsy Jazz style.
_______________________________

Just picked an other song in the same style, and noticed that "When i choose real track "Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzFast Sw 250" for that song it works fine., in that case i can hear the real track "Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzFast Sw 250" in that song.

Using Band in abox 2014 audiofile edition.

Hi René,

Welcome to the forums smile

It sounds like you might be trying to play the RT at a tempo that's much slower than it's recommended tempo of 250 BPM. If this the case, it mightn't sound too good and so BIAB automatically substitutes a suitable RT more appropriate for the song's tempo.

That being said, it is possible to disable this automatic substitution (I personally have it turned off). To do that ...

Go to Prefs (#1)
Click on "Realtracks" (#2)
Disable the automatic substitution (#3)

For what it's worth, I have also disabled the automatic substitution of midi styles with Realtrack ones (#4) because I like to use the midi styles.



Hope this helps,
Noel

Hi, Noel

Thanks for having me

Yes! You´re right. The tempo for the specific is lower (205 bpm), than for the style recommended tempo of 250 BPM. (Have to think about that furher on.)

I checked the settings and noticed when i uncheck the "Allow Auto-Realtrack substitution based tempo"., and suddenly it seems to work fine. Very good!

P.S. Nice songs you have there!

Thanks for listening to my songs, René.

They'll all BIAB. It's a pretty amazing program. I'm glad that you got it to work.
