Thanks Charlie. After reading your comment, here's my experience:
- I transformed my frozen RT into an Artist Performance Track (I went back to the manual to make sure I was doing it right). Biab worked a little bit. After it was finished, I didn't notice anything new in the track. I was expecting some change of color or some other way to show me that track now as an APT rather than a regular track. Nothing like that. Ok, I said to myself. Maybe I am not supposed to know. - so I transposed the song and, obviously, my frozen track now APT was NOT transposed. In fact, I doubt that the APT transformation worked at all. Anyway, I regenerated everything again, and BIAB froze at 97% of regeneration. Voilà, not-so-rare Biab experience. We love bugs.
I tried again with the same song, same outcome. Maybe the song file is corrupted or something. So I tried with a different song. This time the RT converted to an APT correctly. And I was able to transpose it. BUT .... 1. There's a notification in the middle of my BIAB window showing "generation real tracks 94%", stuck there. I can play and do everything, but with this notification in front of my eyes, like BIAB was still regenerating (it's not - it's stuck). See picture attached. Once again, a bug. I'll add it to my insects collection. 2. Anyway, regardless of this fresh new bug, now I have my "orange", transposed Artist track. Great. Now let's say I want to regenerate (now, ideally, I may want to regenerate only parts of the track, just like a regular track, but even regenerating the whole thing would be a step forward). How do I do that? I looked in the manual, under Artist Performance Track and Regenerating. Nothing found. All right. Let me try the more common approach of "blindly exploring the jungle of options", as it is often the case with us BIAB aficionados. Here's what I found: - right click on the track, generate / select and generate real tracks (obvious, right?). Not so fast. Now BIAB wants me to select a RT to generate. But the name of the original RT has disappeared!! What if I want to regenerate my APT a month after I worked on it? BIAB should KNOW what RT that APT was generated from, right? Or should I keep a booklet in which I write down the RT from which my APTs were generated? - I'm persistent. Different route. Right click / track actions / regenerate window. Ok, I click "OK regenerate" and BIAB politely tells me that "There is no Real Track on this track. Would you like to select one?". Ok, now I am convinced that BIAB is making fun of me.
I am running out of options. And patience. I just don't see how do you regenerate APTs (and much more, as you implied in your post). I don't see it in the manual. What I see is the usual jungle of options, sprinkled with our daily dose of bugs. But I'm sure it's my fault. Would you be so nice to nudge me into the right direction? Once you have an APT, how do you go back to its original RT status? Because that is the whole point: once you have a APT, or a transposed APT, is there a way to revert it to its original RT status?
