Hello - I've just been using BIAB for short time, creating fairly basic backing tracks, but have encountered an issue multiple times. Hoping someone knows what is going on!

When playing back my creations, an instrument drops out of the mix for a couple bars and then comes back in. One time it was the drums, one time it was the bass. (It is like the musician stopped to drink a beer in the middle of a song.) The drop out seems to occur in the same place for a given file, but not consistent across files.

I've looked in the Bar settings and can find no reason for an instrument to be muted. I've tried forcing them to Return to Normal in the Bar settings, but that doesn't fix it either.

Any ideas?

Protocol says when this happens hit "Return to Factory Settings"

Do that. And if the problem persists, reboot your computer and regenerate again. Let us know.

Thanks. Prior to seeing these replies, I had replaced the style of bass and that cleared up the problem in that file. I haven't gone back to the others with similar issues, but will keep your advice in mind.

Is this a common issue? Any best-practices to avoid it happening?
