Hi all

new version, new luck?
Oops, I bought it again and - with the impulse of the moment and holiday season ahead, I tried to find a workflow for my real world tasks. The task at hand was scanning through a bunch of Biab files to prepare for a repertoire, separating the songs that I like and than muting the melody track of the song and render it as MP - that I can be the soloist while band in a box is delivering the backing tracks.

With that line of though in mind, I created a folder, put songs of various types in it and made it the root folder to run quick through those using the song picker. With each song file I did the folowing:
- identify the melody containing track
- mute the melody containing track
- save the file again (Ctrl-S)
- double-click the next song in the song picker to repeat all steps

While this was working great so far - I ran through some 30 songs in a short time with this workflow, I though of another feature to listen to the chosen songs with the Jukebox function of Biab. I made my newly created folder with those 30 songs to the jukebox folder and activated the "play 16 bars only" flag - which should be enough to verify all sounds good (as my previous step was just choosing files, not really listening.
While jukebox was playing the songs one after another, some made strange sounds on the drum track, which made me stop the jukebox to pick a realdrum via the RealDrum Picker. In order to go only through potentially relevant readdrum styles I filtered as shown in the screenshot, but saw more realdrums than the filter would suggest are relevant. I only filtered "Jazz" "even" and a tempo.

What am I doing wrong? I also pressed the "update" button to activate the filter (if that was necessary) to no avail.

So new version and I struggle again with what seems to me basic functionality that should work very intuitively in a software.

I guess I am the weak spot - please help....

Cheers Stefan
