What's up with real track 3135 - resonator guitar in style _Hamper.sty?
It sounds like it plays in the wrong key. No problem with 3134.

Hey there,

That Style is best played at about 60bpm, which is pretty slow. If you're using a significantly faster tempo, the resonator guitar will be the first instrument to sound a little funny, just given the nature of resonator guitars.

I played it at 60 first, which sounded fine, but when I bumped the tempo up, it did sound a little odd. Could this be what's happening in your case too?

Hi David. Tempo is set at 60. I rechecked the track time base but it is normal. I thought it might be my song but it sounds the same when I load the style demo. It sounds great in the real track picker dialogue player.

Ooof, yeah, that's pretty off.

I haven't been able to replicate this issue in my own copy of Band-in-a-Box, I've loaded up the Style Demo and the resonator sounds great. I tried transposing, and the resonator transposes just fine along with everything else.

Do you have any plugins or patches applied to Guitar 2 (the resonator track)?

I'll ask some colleagues about what could be causing this too, maybe they know of something I don't.

In the meantime, maybe try testing out some other styles to see if there are any other RealTracks doing this, and let me know what you find.

Also, what OS and version of Band-in-a-Box are you using?

Ok, some developer colleagues responded, and I have a couple things to try.

First, if you send us a frozen .sgu file (frozen meaning with all tracks frozen) we can take a look at it to see what's going on. You can email that to support@pgmusic.com.

One possibility is that you may have accidentally checked "half-time" in the RealTracks picker, which, at the tempo of 60bpm, would treat the RealTrack at 120bpm, but then STRETCH it down to 60, causing it to sound strange.

If that's not it, another thing to try would be download and re-install the RealTracks installer to that contains RT set 322 from your account. That could solve the issue.

In any case, a frozen .sgu file will help us figure out the cause of this mysteriously troubled Resonator.

Thank you as well, David. Downloading and installing set 322 did the trick.

This one sir. Andrew removed his post as David replied at about the same time with this suggestion:

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
