Real Band makes no sound---what to do???

I just got the 2021 Ultra Pak. I had Real Band on my 2018 version but never used it. Perhaps for this same reason (-I really don't remember).

I programmed in a few chords into Real Band and hit play but there was no sound. (BIAB plays fine.) No sound at all. I figure there is some output setting I haven't set (or accidentally deselected). What to do?

RB doesn't auto generate on Play like BiaB does. It's a different program.
Try using Generate before hitting Play.
RB 'Generates' as a separate function, whereas BiaB Generates whenever you hit play.

Also be aware that, unlike Band-in-a-Box, RealBand does not begin playback until generation is complete.

Wow, thanks! I would never have guessed that!

I'm not in Kansas anymore, huh? Thank you!
