First check Preferences, Channels. See if Soloist is 0 in the Octave column. Yours might say. -1 and if it does, change it to 0.

And is this for MIDI or RealTracks? You can adjust MIDI as indicated by Matt; however, RealTracks are recordings and so won't adjust.

OK I changed the channel to 1 then I get a computer system set to 48000 record and playback speed and I can't get my Biab sound settings to change to 44.1. When I press on the soundcard get from, nothing comes up and I can't get bb to list my drivers. The drivers list fine for the audio

So I had to go to Realband to correct this issue I have 24 bit 44.1, should I use that or stick to 16 bit 44.1?

It's for midi and real. I use midi to kick Vst's onto them but for genuine instruments I use real tracks.

OK I have changed the channel for octave to 0, but it's still playing octaves too low. What's another idea? Thanks very much. Make sure I save the setting when I set that.

Under OPTIONS, on the top menu, there is a choice for "Return to Factory Settings" -- select the one for "MOST" settings.

It would also pay to save your present set up in case you need to return to it. This is also found under the OPTIONS menu.

As well as the good information above, do make sure that the Soloist Track is not frozen, before re-generating.

OK I figured the puzzle out. It's a problem with the location of soloists that use SampleTank or Amplitube. For some reason I can't find SampleTank or Amplitube on my computer. But SampleTank does come up but says it's expired. So I would like to implement these tracks back to Cakewalk TTS. Unless I learn where the directories for these programs are. ARe there special editions that are being used. I own both Revalver and Guitar Rigg. But it would be nice to hear the amplitubes plus they are already set up. Also in a couple months I plan on buying Biab2020 Has the setup changed from 2015 much? Should I wait or is it an extension of using these VST's?

I discovered where they were, program files x86 IK MUltimedia but they are from 2014. Does this mean they are useless. They offered to update me, but I'm not sure if its just going to give me trial software and I don't want a bunch of nonsense on my computer that will stop working. My edition is Biab 2014 and I will update this year so am I too far back?

OK is there a find and replace function in Biab to change all the SampleTank based tracks to RealBand? That's easy or am I better off waiting 5 weeks to get Biab 2020? If the sounds in Amplitube 3 ... I think I'm just going to wait!!
