Hello all -

I've got my chords plugged in to BiaB (Windows 10 BiaB 2021).
Happen to be using _EAGF_GF.STY style. When I go to add a soloist the list comes up blank.
I click on "Soloist Button" at top.
Click on "Generate & play a solo".
Click on "Best Real Tracks".
The list comes up blank. It says:
Swing/Feel doesn't match.
Genre doesn't match.
Tempo doesn't match.
Time sig doesn't match, etc.
My BiaB Soloists folder has 3828 files.
Did I forget how to add a soloist track or is something wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Old Hippie,
it looks like you have a filter string active, so ultimately no soloist is displayed. You should have nothing typed in the line "Filter String" (just click on "Show All"), then all possible soloists are displayed.

Thanks for trying to help, Brille, but there is nothing in the filter string box.

I took a screenshot but I'm not sure how to attach it to this post.

To post an image click Reply
Do not simply go to the bottom of the thread and use Quick Reply
You have to click the Reply button on one of the posts.

Then, right under the text box where you type your reply you will see 'File Manager'
If you click that it lets you browse your computer to find a file. Then click Add Image (or close) to officially add it.
Then click Done ..

The whole trick is knowing where to find it, and you have to click Reply to get there.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I haven’t studied this thread, but could the track in question be a MIDI track?

I got a different list. I selected Load Demo song for that style, generated, then selected
Soloist > Add best RealTracks Soloist.
It came up with an extensive list. (I do think you need to press the Show All button again maybe).
What Pak of BiaB do you have (Pro, Mega, Ultra, Audiophile)?

Reviewing this further, I note the steps you identified:
Quote:
I click on "Soloist Button" at top.
Click on "Generate & play a solo".
Click on "Best Real Tracks".


I think the 2nd and 3rd items are possibly reversed?

For me,
1: click the Soloist button
2: Click Add Best RealTracks
3: Click an item from the list
4: Click on Generate and Play Solo

Hi Old Hippie, it would help to know what size of PAK you have. Also, please open the Style Picker and click the Rebuild button; do a fast rebuild and see if that helps.

For my benefit, how does the O/P determine the size of PAK?
Is that similar to the question I asked above about the Pak Name?

The PAK name is the level or size of PAK. The MegaPAK is a larger PAK than the Pro for example.
