We've had thing issue before. If I mute the soloist guitar in the the first 8 bars, sounds great in BIAB. Then I use the bar settings to unmute the soloist, again - sound great in BIAB. However, when I render to WAV, the soloist (Guitar) is not to be heard.
We've had this before, as I said and there was a fix for that. The fix has disappeared.
Can someone duplicate this issue, please?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers, Mike

Mike, can you add the letters '.txt' to the song file name (e.g. MySong.mgu.txt'), and use File Manager to attach it to a post. Someone here could review and hopefully come up with some suggestions.
I tried your suggestion and got the opposite. I muted the soloist for the first 8 bars. The song played as expected, but when I dragged the Master to the wav section of the drop-zone, the resulting wav file played the soloist for all bars. In other words, the Muting function did not work at all in the export.
Are you running Build 840?
Attached is my test. Remove the .txt extension

Just tested backwards with build 825 (next official patch following 823 which was a beta. All works fine. The reincarnation of the error takes place somewhere on the way to build 840.

So it appears to be another item that worked, then was broken, then got fixed, and then broke again?

We were able to reproduce this bug and have reported it to the development team.
MikeK, just to confirm that we are following your steps correctly in your original post, do you mean you had the Soloist muted, decided to unmute it so that it is playing throughout, then Render? Or did you want the Soloist muted only for the first 8 bars, then start playing, like what VideoTrack had done?

Chantelle, the latter.
Thanks!

Thanks Chantelle. I also had reported it, so hopefully they will implement a fix soon.

I understand that this has been fixed for the next build release, but I cannot say when it will become available, only to say that it has been identified and resolved for the next release.
Probably/hopefully not too far away.
