I probably just have way too much time on my hands at the moment, but has anyone else noticed that the RealTracks Acoustic Guitar fails to change chords sometimes when there are even just two chords in a 4/4 measure (like in measures 22 (E7 Amin) and measure 24 (Dm7 G7) in the demo BGPNKDEMO.mgu) where it just continues strumming the first chord? And also that it fails to recognize slash chords with different root notes, like in measures 9 & 11, when the C major chord walks down with lower roots on each beat of the measure? While this last adaption to playing fast changing chords is less distracting than the former, is there a way to at least identify these limitations and possibly others to users before discovering them in a clashing of chords and melody in a performance? Please, don't get the wrong idea here, though. I remain dazed and devoted to what BIAB is able to accomplish. It is an amazing product.

Dr DuBose, The issues above are fixed in the 2008.5 upgrade.
There is a free upgrade, and also an upgrade to the RealTracks set 1.
Separately, there are 44 new RealTracks for Band-in-a-Box

Thank you very much! The updated acoustic strumming guitars and fingerpicking guitars are marvelous improvements, with greater sensitivity to chord changes, chord types, and rhythmic nuances (pushes). As you and co. continue to push the envelope, I wish you continued good fortune, and hope that musical fundamentals in new instruments stay safeguarded, like trying to manage volume levels to ensure decent ensemble mixes (the acoustic guitars sound recorded at lower volumes, and I have to boost them to hear them well, and fully appreciate them,), and intonation ( I hear an electric bass that's a bit sharp, I fear.), and maybe "coloration" or timbre (the metal guitar is a bit overprocessed to my Mesa Boogie tuned ears, though the label "wild" serves as fair warning). I'd love to see a sax at lower bpm, maybe 65 for ballad soloing, and am enjoying the new ones which are just hotter than ever, and all between 100 & 140 bpm. All in all, if I can manage my limited disk space (80 gig on my laptop performing platform) with all the updates I'll be more than happy. I'll be creative, and performing more, and giving more away performing for causes and concerns in fund raisers and celebrations. Thanks again to you and your very helpful staff for helping me turn a corner on all the new updates, including help from Nancy and Andrew.
