Hi,
I just bought BiB MegaPak last night, specifically so I can use the realtracks to create a jazz accompaniment. I'm working with the changes Embraceable You, but I keep ending up with measures where the bass and/or piano suddenly stop playing.
For example, if I reduce it to 4 measures, repeated for 3 choruses: | G | Abdim | A-7 | B-7b5 E7 |
Using "Jazz Ballad w/ Piano," the bass doesn't come in until the 2nd measure. It does play measures 2-4, but on subsequent choruses it will leave out the 3rd measure. The piano also decides to drop out at odd times.
I want a jazz ballad realtrack style where piano/bass/drums play throughout the whole tune, but no matter what I do (e.g. I tried turning off "allow rests"), I end up with measures where an instrument suddenly stops playing. On the full Embraceable you, there are points where for several measures I'll hear nothing but drums.
I'd greatly appreciate some guidance. Thanks!
-Rick

I figured it out... After installing, I moved the RealTracks files to a network drive, but some of the files failed to copy. I recopied all of them and now it's working properly.

Interesting that your RealTracks instruments would play sometimes, but not always.
I found this thread because when I opened up a file made with BIAB 2008 (and now I'm on 2021 version), an intro chorus played fine, but on the repeated solo choruses, nothing but drums. (All RealTracks).
Had to copy the badly played choruses, delete them, double the first chorus (played ok), back to one time, then paste in the solo chorus change... basically, quasi-recreate the file. This is not the first time that BIAB behaved strangely on files made with the much older version, either.
