Hi again  I tried it in Audio Edit and the Chordsheet and the regeneration of the bar is working okay for me. To be honest, I prefer doing regeneration in Audio Edit as (a) I can see what is happening and (b) there are a lot of tools available in Audio Edit that are very useful. With this in mind, if you have a few minutes to spare, could you please try the following? 1) Open Audio Edit (#1 on the image). The image shows my display in Standard View mode. CTRL+T will toggle between full-screen and standard views if you want to switch to my view.2) Select "Snap" (this will snap the cursor to the nearest 1/16th of a beat in even time) (#2). 3) Select the piano's track (#3). If no wav form is visible on the piano track, you will need to regenerate the whole song first4) In the black region of the wav's track, drag the mouse across the bar with the AmM7, Am6 chord to select that region (#4). 5) Click on Edit (#5) to open Audio Edit's 'tool box'. 6) Select generate (#6) and then "Select and Generate Realtracks". 7) In the Regeneration Window, check that the track is correct (#8) and then regenerate (#9). (a) The regeneration window should be above the wav display. (b) If it isn't, drag the regenerate window up the screen so that so that you can see the wave. (c) When you regenerate the wav, watch the wav form on the screen. It should change and represent the new sound. (d) After the regeneration is done, the track will automatically be frozen so that the regeneration is preserved and not lost when the whole song is regenerated. (e) It is not necessary to unfreeze the track then regenerating in the Audio Edit window.Thanks again Noel for taking the time to help.  I tried all of your steps above. I followed everything except #7. I don't know what is the 'Regeneration Window'? My screen shows two waves, one on top of the other. Is the regen window the top wave? Yes the track was freezing on each pass. I ignored it as you suggested. I was able to hear many different takes this time using your method. However, the whole reason I wanted to do this exercise was to get a legit AmMaj7 chord to sound. None of the takes wanted to cooperate.  So this method won't be of help to me. As I mentioned in another thread, I was finally able to get a mMaj7 chord to sound. It was back when I was using the Organ sound. But my faith in BIAB has taken a hit. I can't, on demand, key in a mMaj7 chord and hear it being played.
