My RealTracks and Drums are located @ C:\bb\ , I open the Daw Plugin in Studio One 4 or Live 10. Put in some chords\select style and hit "Generate" progress goes a third of the way and then stops. Then nothing..

Stephan,

Thanks for making a new thread, your posts were getting lost in that long one. (And for others, don’t hijack it with a different topic, let’s stick with Stephan’s issue)

We have lots of users using it with success with Ableton. We made a 20 minute video of using with Ableton
What style have you selected? Make sure to press SELECT first and then select a style, then press generate. Watch the videos of Cakewalk or Reaper to see that in action

What date is the file c:\bb\bbw4.exe?
What version of plugin are you running?
Have you applied the 610 update?
Try task manager and kill a process named bbw4.exe (details tab). If you can’t do that, then reboot windows.
What does your c bb BBPlugin savedtracks folder look like? Are there wav Files in there ?


Have Fun!

Peter, there are only empty folders. So it creates the folders then stops.

Not sure if Peter will respond tonight. I have it working in Ableton. What are the answers to these questions asked:

What date is the file c:\bb\bbw4.exe?
What version of plugin are you running?
Have you applied the 610 update?

I had started to suspect there was an issue with the RT installs. SO.... I removed all of the RTs and drums and reinstalled the real tracks. Now it is working. Finished at 2am. I am waiting my drive now..

Hope you get it all worked out.

If you run into issues makes sure the bbw4.exe is dated the 28th for build 610.

Once tracks render they drag seamlessly into Ableton. Remember,if you are in session view to hold control key so each biab track drags to its own audio track ( hen dragging all in together)

This it the issue I've been having all along, even with the standalone. About the only thing I haven't tried yet is to remove/re-install all Realtracks/Realdrums.

If this is the fix it would be awesome, I guess I'll set aside a chunk of time to do that.

[sigh]
