I think someone has been reading my mail. I really do have problems with the jazz base lines on jazz RealTracks and it is quite hard to find a straight four-in-the-bar rhythm without the grace notes, quavers and quaver triplets. Plus, as I have said before on the forum, some of the lines make it difficult to tell where '1' is because they don't start the bar on a logical base line note - certainly not a note that, when one is improvising, gives you too much of a clue as to where you are and what the chord is. Perhaps, in real-life playing with my band, I listen too much to the base player. Not really though because most of the jazz musicians I know do the same thing.

I did put this criticism into the wish list area along with a request for some faster tempos. I do not know exactly what happened but it did not last long.

I don't have the same problem in midi.

I am going to have a good look at those styles that Peter recommended to see if they are any better.
