I don’t think microchords would do a good job chopping up prerecorded audio to stick a sound on a specific short location. I could be wrong on that assumption.

Thanks Matt.
You offered two possibilities as to what's causing the problem.

I took some extra time now to rule out your first possibility.

I took the original commercial recording of the song and merged it with BIAB's version of it.
If your theory was correct (my system is too slow to play it properly) then it wouldn't be able to play the
commercial recording properly either. But it does play it properly.

Please listen to the link below.

I have recorded the bars with the 'micro chords' three times for each version.
First you'll hear the commercial version and then BIAB.
(Of note, the guitar is covering up much of the vibes in these bars, in the commercial version.)

As far as your second possibility is concerned, I don't see why a sustained sound can't be chopped up to fit these
BIAB <cough> 'triplets'.

Original vs. BIAB
