Hi Folk,
The BIAB support staff are now having a look at this song and I'm hoping for at least some fixes or work-a-rounds from the experts which will allow me to finish it and send you all a copy of this iconic soul song.
Best Regards

The problem here is that the push is a claimed feature for these real tracks and it is not working as claimed. And it appears this was noted as a bug 4 months ago and has not been fixed. I fully accept the limitations of the program in its effort to "create art". Some things were made to be done only by man. I get that. But squashing reported bugs is a vendors responsibility which in todays software market is expected by the users. The vendor can accept that responsibility or not and it disappoints when they chose - not.  I love the program as we all do... but not willing to drink the koolaid. I completely agree. There are zillions of well known / reported b*** in the program, many of them have been there for years, many of them are really frustrating for a lot of users. Addressing this problems should be the first priority for PGMusic, in my opinion.

Good News!
PG Music support desk were most helpful and solved two out of three of my problems i.e.
Soloing over Shot chords - it works fine - this was my mistake.
Starting new line in chord sheet on demand - again this works fine - my lack of knowledge.
Stutters in Chords with a Push - this does not work well and needs to be fixed in future release.
So - enough for me to get the song finished and then edit out the stutters in my DAW.
Thanks PG Music support staff.
Best Regards

Hi,
Just to clarify the "Push Problem" - today I rendered the tracks from BIAB for this song and assembled them in in my Reaper DAW.
I came to the bridge of this song which has the six pushed chords and found on further investigation that only the Real Drums in BIAB can push a chord using Real Tracks. The bass, guitar, piano and strings Real Tracks can't push any chords at all.
I can program around this in the DAW of course however I would be interested to know:
Is this functionality required by BIAB users on a regular basis?
If the answer is yes then is it practical or even technically possible for PG Music to include pushes in BIAB Real Tracks?
Best Regards
Nigel

Nigel,
There's a great feature in Reaper called 'Stretch Markers'. With these, you'll easily be able to add your own pushes (or pulls) to a Realtrack. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty quick to do.
If you go to Youtube and then search for Reaper Stretch Markers, you'll be taken a few videos that will show how to do it.
Regards
Noel
