The chords are /Db7 C7/ and there are vibes, bass and drums.

One would expect the bass to play a Db on the Db7 chord and then a C on the C7 chord.
The chords are on beats one and three.
But BIAB doesn't do this. It just plays C for the whole bar!


They will play properly in a new song with none of my song chords entered.
Just a couple of bars in the new song, the second being /Db7 C7/ .
That works, but it doesn't work in my song.

Hi BIABman!

Is the bass track frozen? Also, have you regenerated the song by pressing F4?

Thanks Simon, well one thing got fixed (I can now hear the Bass playing the Db and then the C)
but I lost a bunch of other stuff in the process. One step forward, two steps back. frown

Did you mean the stuff you lost was on frozen tracks not just the bass track?? by unfreezing the bass you could have left all the other tracks frozen
