Wendy,

I'm glad the Realband journey worked for.

It's very rare, but every once in a while a BIAB file can get 'corrupted'. By 'corrupted', I mean that it doesn't work as it once did. I've only had this happen a couple of times in a decade.

Opening and re-saving the file in Realband often strips away whatever caused the issue. It's a strategy to keep in mind.

I see that you took it one step further and made changes in Realband. Good thinking! I don't usually do that. I'll keep it in mind, now.

Lastly, what I always do these days is, as soon as I get a file that's sounding ok, I save it with a new name. Then when I get to another point where I like it, I save it with another new name. My sequence is usually something like songfile1.sgu, songfile2.sgu, songfile3.sgu, etc. As a song nears completion, I often have around 20 versions of the song. Since SGU files are so small, they take up very little space on the computer. The advantage of doing this is that if I get a file that stops working, I have lots of backups to call on.

All the best,
Noel
