It seems as if the first track is invisibly disabled in this style.

Berntd, I suggest that you select Options > Return To Factory Settings as a starting point.

I had difficulties recently especially with the style and it was resolved with the factory settings. I still don't understand why, and I haven't had to restore factory settings for many years.

Try it and see if that makes a difference.

I just did the factory rest (ALL settings) thing and it is exactly the same.

Also, my computer is not old. I was purchased new for BIAB in mid 2020.

I works fine here as well.
I just downloaded the attached style, put in 4 chords generated and played and muted of the other instruments in order.
Bass plays fine. Piano plays fine.

Right,

I have transferred the style to my second older computer which is running an earlier install 2020 PRO.

The result is IDENTICAL. the bass does not play for this style.

So the problem is 100% reproducible over here and it is not installation or machine specific.

Bass RT 1388 is an older file. See what date and file size you have and compare it to mine which is working well... Maybe you have a corrupt file? or a version which was fixed at some time?

I can't find any thing else on my computer for this specific bass except for these two demo file... If you can find other files send the info and I will look for them.

Ohh, wait, you meant the actual 1338:BAss Realtrack.

Very sorry, I thought you meant the style files.

I will have a look at that now.

But, that 1338:Bass plays fine when I load it into any other style.

The actual Realtrack for 1338:Bass is located in:

\bb\RealTracks\Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Sw 140

There are 56 files in this folder all dated to 2008.
Selecting them all, results in 58.4MB being selected.

Bernt

OK, lets compare the Style Files. Here are mine. You will see there are new versions just recently along with the old versions in my "historic" collection. Do you have the new versions??

Or hold it, perhaps I have two versions due to how I had to backup all the old files since I switched machines. So the two dates may be related to that and not actually two different versions. Sorry if I confuse the situration, but I am just trying to help... crazy

Thank you again, I greatly appreciate your help.
I am not sure how you generated that file list view in your attachment.

I can also see the 2 style files you likely downloaded from my link.

I cannot duplicate the view layout you show but here is my equivalent: I did a search for the M_EZLISP.

My files are all from 2013. Your demo file is larger than mine but the style file sizes are the same.

Berntd,

Everything plays fine for me to.

Seeing that this is happening with two bass Realtracks on the Bass track, have you checked...

1) that the volume of the mixer is set to 90 for the Bass track

2) That the Bass track is enabled (Right click on the track | select Track Settings | double check that "enabled" is selected).

--Noel

I have since contacted the PGmusic folks and after some to an fro, they claim it is reproducible in the 2020 version but not the 2023 version.

I guess that explains why you here could not see it as you all seem to be running 2023.
What the root cause could be, remains a mystery.

regards
Bernt

Sorry to hear that. Doesn't appear to give you much options other than to not use that style, or to upgrade? crazy
