Noel96, thanks for trying things and following up with the developers. I'm a software engineer by trade, so always am a fan of finding reuse for existing tools, and the half-time feature for realtracks has already come in very helpful in my few short weeks of using Biab. So I just hope the functionality can be carried through consistently. It's taking a fair amount of trial and error to see what works and what doesn't, what's affected by Soloist options, etc. I did find a bit of a workaround - can use it as a final step before taking my arrangement to my DAW. RealBand is honoring the half-time setting on the Extra Soloist Information dialog. That setting is persisting with the Realtrack, so who knows what else it might affect. I want a number of 2-3 bar embelleshments to play around my melody, so I can use Realbands ability to generate solos for just a few bars. It's a little tedious, and I don't know if I could use Multiriff with it. But might do the trick for now. So the way things work from the Realband side, given two Eric Marienthal soprano tracks at 65bpm, the one I've marked as half-time on the Biab side works great in my 140BPM tune, and the bluesy version which is still marked normal plays at twice the speed I would want. Just FYI.

Fiddler2007, I know what you are saying about Soloist - I'm not usually a fan of generated melody/improv lines. The most I've used it for is generating some simple mallet accompaniments that I can use as starting points for editing on the DAW side. I'll have to say some of the generated parts are quite interesting, and the drop 2 Nat King Cole piano harmonization is rather interesting. But a lot of the results is crap :-)

Is there a way to tag a username in a post so they get notified? I think I saw some tagged usernames in earlier posts, but can't find how that was done in FAQ. Could have been some other forum.
