Anyway, I finally got around to trying out 2010... One of my main interests in this new batch of styles was the solo piano styles... So, here's what's happening
Solo accomp Pop London - This is the worst of the lot... It just stops sounding after the first or second measure.. Simple chord progressions at tempos close what is suggested, since I'm just checking out the different styles
Jazz Stride Ballad Style - This plays but it's very choppy going from one change to the other, once again, very simple changes, one chord per measure...
Acoustic Rehearsal Showtunes - Same as above, plays but it's very choppy when going from one chord to another...
For contrast purposes, I tried the Vancouver solo piano, and that works perfectly fine...
Now, I've been dealing with realtracks since they first came out, and I've gotten some magnificent results... This is the first time when there is definitely something wrong... Anybody else experiencing this??

Hi tradivoro1,
Look around for the RTs patches. This has been discussed in another thread. I did have the issue a while back also.

When you say the rt patches, what do you mean? I thought that all you had to do was select any one of the real tracks and they would play individually no matter what... This is what I've done in the past, and its worked well for other realtracks..

And get the latest build, #292.
Ed was referring to program update patches, not sound patches. There are several recent threads with suggestions from Andrew at PG Music of things to try.

Thanks for your help with this, the biab build 292 really did the trick... The realtrack updates were useless, all they said was that the files were corrupted and that I should get a new copy of the program... However, the program works now... Once again, thank you for the info...

If the RealTracks update did not install, likely a courrupted download, you should clear your browser's Temp cache and try downloading and installing again.
Don't want to be without those updates!

Yes, the update fixes some of the Real Track problems, and the patch fixed others.

Hi Mac, would a corrupted download of the update really give that message?? I'll re-try it, if you think it's worth it... However, the problems with the solo piano tracks seemed to have been fixed... Anyway, I'll re-download it... thanks for your replies, I really didn't think anybody was going to answer till tomorrow... Quote:

HI Matt, thanks for your reply, I'll see if I run into any other realtracks problem and see if re-downloading the patch will fix the update... Quote:
