Ok, this problem was supposedly fixed years ago, all realtracks should support 4-bar endings now:

https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=263418
(Please, read Peter's answer in this thread)

However, I'm still finding some realtracks not working with some chords.

I think I'm up to date with Realtracks updates, but I'm not 100% sure, so please, can anyone download and check this song? Is the 4-bar ending working properly?

Sounded like the last bar got cut off abruptly.

Thanks for trying.

That's strange. Just for clarifying, this is the ending I get when I load the file I posted on the previous post :

Ex. 1:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y3Ifgz0DPrnDwRnJQHaJjnWdBk0j7W-V/view?usp=sharing
As you can hear, the piano and the bass keep playing after the drums stops, and then eveything is cut off abruptly


BUT, if I manually change the ending chord od the song (Dm7) for a Dm, the ending sounds right:

Ex. 2:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wk82C3Nv2-ApNdSqUn-u7Qcc-nfl6EzW/view?usp=sharing

When you load the song and press play, are you getting results similar to ex. 2?

Anyone else can try, please? I would like to know if this is a program issue, or if I'm just not up to date with realtracks.

Thanks!

I listened to this. The "memo" lists every thing in there:

Title: SmoothJazzBallad: Electric Guitar and Piano demo
File:Ending not working - Ex1.SGU
Key=F , Tempo 65, Length (m:s)=3:26
4 bar intro, 16 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 20. Repeat x3 choruses
No Melody
No Soloist track.
Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0,
Style is _SJAZBL2.STY (Smooth Jazz Ballad w/ Electric G)

RealTracks in style: 908:Bass, Electric, SmoothBallad Ev16 065
RealTracks in style: 910:Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothBallad Ev16 065
RealTracks in style: 1072:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm SmoothJazzBallad Ev16 065
RealDrums in style: SmoothJazzBallad^1

I have all the RTs.

Ya the ending needs work, but this, in my opinion, is typical for the Real tracks - so nothing unusual here. To take this to the next level one would really need to go into a DAW where adjustments could be made.

By the way, I just listened to the two audio examples you provided. Ya, BIAB was Example 1. Example 2 with the chord change was very different indeed. But again, that IMO is typical for RTs. I got pretty much the exact same thing when I changed Dm7 to Dm in this arrangement.

Ok, thanks very much, it seems that I'm not up to date with my realtracks then.

I think I've installed all RT patches & updates over the years from here:
https://www.pgmusic.com/support_windows_realtracks.htm

I've just installed the last patch (june 2018) but I'm still having the cutted off endings with certain realtracks / chords.

So, is there any way that I can be 100% sure I'm up to date with all realtracks patches?
