BIAB 2025 (1128). I've been a regular user of BIAB since 1998 (!), so I can't say this is a "newbie" question, but I have to admit, I am truly baffled.

I create a song using a style, any style. I freeze the tracks when they sound good, I then create a MultiRiff on an unused track for a hot lead intro solo and mid-song break. All tracks are frozen. Cool. So, I create an MP3, load it up into Audacity, finalize the MP3. Great...ready for testing live...

Wait. I don't like one of the geetars...Mr. Thrasher sounds like he's on an ego trip. No problem. I'll just go back to the "drawing board," unfreeze the tracks and replace the offender with James Taylor. Regenerate, and... Mr. Thrasher is still thrashing his axe. So I assign no RealTrack; that ought to do it. Erase track; erase MIDI and RIFF; regenerate. Now, no sound, but there is STILL a dude thrashing something--just look at the track in the Mixer window...thump, thump, thump, in complete silence. If I assign ANY RealTrack to the track, I end up with Mr. Thrasher, not James Taylor, not a hurdy-gurdy, not a harmonica.

In fact, I always thought I could replace any track from a style with a different RealTrack. It looks like I can. I still get the "=..." at the top, but the RealTrack isn't changing. I have never noticed this problem before. Is anyone else encountering this problem? In fact, it seems like the latest update is the cause since I haven't noticed this until now. Perhaps this is early dementia setting in, and I no longer know what I'm doing, or what? Thanks!
