iv'e been convinced for almost a year now that biab could not do straight eighth or quarter notes. but i figured out tonight that using the bass pedal settings it will do eighths for sure. but what about straight quarters? thanks for any and all help
I'm not quite sure what you mean but this might help...
BIAB styles come in two broad categories. In stylepicker there are sw (swing) styles and ev (even) styles. These are then subdivided into eighth-note styles and sixteenth-note styles.
The images below shows a little more about these classisfications and the types of notes the different categories are based on.
So if you are wanting to get a straight quarter-note feel of 1 2 3 4, ev8 would be your best choice of styles.
I'll check those. I realize i wasn't too clear. It was late LOL! I meant force the BASS to play straight quarter note. Kinda like you can using the bass pedal settings in chord options. You can tell it to play straight 8th notes. I was wondering if you can force straight quarters? Thanks!

Ahh... that extra information clears it up for me.
In addition to what Matt says, it is also possible to set many, not all, Realtracks to "simple". For some styles, this will certainly help you achieve what you want. The thing is to try a few out.
Ok, as it greatly annoys me when people respond to my "request" post as if they were a "how to?" post, then after reading your other (more detailed) thread about this, I decided to rather put the following into this one:
While waiting for a proper implementation, you can go the long route and re-type the desired chord 4x over into each bar, turn the "Ignore slash" checkbox ON in song settings, and use a Held bass (either one of the existing ones or check the "Held" checkbox in the main RT Picker interface).* This will give you a factory RT bass which repeats the same note on each quarter beat during a single bar, just as you wanted...well, 99% of the time, just to cover myself here.
I know it's not the quick'n-easy thing you prefered (and that's obviously where your Request post comes into this), but it's the closest to next-best I could think of.
*It might be an idea to do this after you've rendered all the other tracks to your liking and freeze all but the bass.

Or - until PG just properly makes some - You can get pretty far with the Pop8thsSteady bass RealTrack by setting the track's timebase to Half Time (add Force to Simple if it's still too varied)! Bass usually copes very well with even the most extreme of tempo ranges, so in theory this could be just the thing.
EDIT: Found an even better one - Bass, Electric, PopPower4s - and we have a winner!

Awesome! I'll check when I get time. I've been away from BIAB for a while. I had another thread along this same topic but I never really got anywhere with it. I will gladly give this a try! Thanks to everyone for all the great help!
