I cannot get Real Band (2016 - 3) to do a silent count in on a MIDI file. In the Metronome Preferences Settings, the only box I have checked is "Silent Count In". Any ideas?

Hi,

If you check "Play Back", "Allow Count in before Playback", "Metronome shuts off after count in", and "Silent Count In", it should work.

Right now, your copy of RealBand has been told not to have a metronome or count-in at all during playback, so there's no count-in to silence.

I'd also highly recommend updating to build 10:
