In AudioEdit View, on the Master Track, Using Volume Automation... I faded out the end of the tune from Bar 40 to Bar 43. But, instead of following the volume automation, it actual started fading at Bar 23.
I highlighted all nodes (Control A) on the on the Master Track, deleting all nodes, and audio returned. Tried again, with same results. Guess I'm just having a bad day.
I suspect that this is fixed in build 1104, which is in pre-release testing for another day or two.
Andrew, I appreciate getting the patch early, but I'm sorry to say that "Patch 1104" does not fix the problem. The Master Track no longer fades early, but it doesn't fade at all. The fade drawn near the end of the track, just continues at full volume.
I have 1104 and the Master fade works for me. I don't know if you've tried it yet but when BIAB starts doing something unusual, "Return to factory settings" is worth trying. (I use the MOST option.)

Noel, in short no. Tried factory reset, behaving the same. Tried your SGU, same problem. Never had this before. Weird. But thanks!
And this on it shows the fade starting late into bar 34, but it is actually starting to fade at 31. It is acting totally erratically. Giving up for the moment! Thanks.

That doesn't happen in my testing. Could you send a song file that has the problem?
It's not the problem of the sgu but the software. I fixed the problem by downgrading my BiaB from 2024 to 2023.
There is another problem, just so you know. When you do Alt+F8 partial regen, you can only do regen on RealTracks, not RealDrums. Is this also a bug, or is it normal?

Generally, the hardest part of fixing a problem is being able to make the problem happen. Hopefully your SGU will allow the developers to make the problem happen.

I really agree with what others have mentioned and have really reached out to help. Why just blame the software and instead not provide objective situations that others could use to help solve any potential issues?
Maybe it is a software issue. I don't know. But how can anyone identify and work to fix it when after requesting a sample, no sample is provided, nor relevant information on how to create the issue?
Team work is beneficial.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
