I have Biab ultrapak 2021 (814) 64 bit.
I did a very simple song with drums, bass and steel guitar. In the first bar I muted the drums to create the intro, Bass and steel guitar should be playing. In bar 9 the drums are set "back to normal" and the steel guitar is set to "mute". Later on at a given bar I want the steel guitar to play, so i have set the bar settings for the steel guitar to "back to normal".
Funny thing; since the last update patch the steel guitar will mute at bar 9 but I think the player falls asleep after that. He or she won't play at the bar I have set the steel guitar to "back to normal". In the mixer the steel guitar clearly shows the track muted.
When the songs replays, the steel guitar stays muted, even in the intro.
Regenerating the song from a situation where the steel guitar is muted results does not unmute the steel guitar, even not in the intro.
Strange thing is that the drum track does mute and go back to normal on the bar settings.
Any ideas?

Mike:
Are you using a particular style, that we could try and replicate the problem?
Or which steel guitar RealTrack is giving you the problem?
If you could post your BIAB file, perhaps someone here could help.

I'm not sure if the Back To Normal is fixed in Build 818, but pretty sure it will be resolved in the following release.
BIAB & RB2026 Win.(Audiophile), Windows 10 Pro & Windows 11, Cakewalk Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Session Keys Grand S & Electric R, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M, Pioneer Active Monitors.

Hello,
I have had a similar problem since I bought the 64-bit audiophile (and posted on the issue a short while back).
The program seems to be randomly ignoring or acknowledging "mute" and "back to normal" commands that I had created over the years using the F5 dialog box. I loaded the same songs back into last year's version and they are playing just fine, as they always have.
Tomorrow I will install the latest Jan 28/29 build and hope it is fixed even though, after a cursory read, did not see it the topic addressed in the release notes. In any case, I will update and keep my fingers crossed.

As a workaround, I had tried experimenting with setting the volume to zero and then increasing it again at a further bar (as opposed to 'Back To Normal') but got unsatisfactory results. The volume doesn't change on the first bar of the first chorus, and it's a downward spiral from that point onwards.
I've reported it to the developers.

Hello,
I just had a quick look at the responses to my thread "Stays Mute - Bar changes (Using F5)," and Andrew from PG Music has confirmed that it has been addressed with the 815 pre-release. Presumably the new 818 build will address this, along with other issues.
