Look, I’m only a beginner with this program but the MIDI Bluegrass programs that are in 2009.5 are:
• Straight Ahead Bluegrass
• Bluegrass Waltz
• Bluegrass Sound Track
• Jethro Bluegrass

plus, I have Real Tracks 11 & 12.

I can’t get any of them to synchronise with the simple chord progression file I have created. To give you an example, two well known fiddle tunes Bill Cheatham (A) and Billy in the Lowground (C) are 32 bar two-part tunes in 4/4 timing, and I set the tempo at around 130bpm.

When you bring in any of above styles via StylePicker, the two items (Style and file) are out of sync. For example, the banjo is running at a “million miles per hour”, and the whole playback is totally wrong. Decreasing the tempo doesn’t solve the problem, so I looked in Style Maker/Edit Current Style and read the User Manual. I’m sure there maybe a solution in here, but this is dangerous territory for a BIAB novice to start amending.

There is very recent posting from Peter Gannon on this matter answering a query from another forum member, and he mentions the need to use “Edit/Reduce” and/or Soloist. However, I can’t find where that menu/command is or even know what I’m supposed to do.

So in summary, I’m still open to advice about how to solve this little problem. Other than that, I’m very happy with the potential for me of BIAB.

Is this one for the BIAB Support Team?
