I made a simple song with a bluegrass theme, including appropriate bass track. The bass goes along with the other instruments, then just stops for 1/2 a measure, then picks up again. Does it several times in the song. I tried replacing with another bass real track, but same thing happens. It is like the bass player has to stop and swat a skeeter!

"It is like the bass player has to stop and swat a skeeter!" Get that bass player some insect repellent George!

Hey George,
If you post a link to the SGU (you'll need to drop it in your website somewhere (a folder) so that you can link to it here), then some of us could give it a quick try to see if we experience the same drop out... (or a drop box link or similar...)

So, on further experimentation, I found that if you pick just the right style, this is less likely to occur. Also if you highlight only that region in the RB track and regenerate, it adds the notes back in. I am guessing this regenerate action will work on wonky sounding pieces of other tracks as well.
Later... I tried several instances of BIAB songs with various styles. During initial playback, and even before saving then opening in RB, I hear missing bass parts. Once I get the BIAB song in RB I can then see the missing wav sections. I did a bit of a workaround with regenerate, but that is a pain point. I will upload a file somewhere and link from here as suggested. Perhaps someone can get me past this speed bump.

I hear ya; sometimes weird things happen to this software; I usually try as many different things as I can think of; close & reopen the program, change instruments and change back, re-enter the whole song, there's a re-generate the song button somewhere, freeze the song - unfreeze the song...

It is possible to cause an instrument to not play for a given section during chord entry in BB. Accidental keystroke could be such a cause.

Still a bit perplexed by this. I am still gettin bass lines with dropped measures. It is weird. Like the bass player just stops for a few beats. Regen fixes this, but wondering why just the bass line?

If regen fixes it then my comments (possible causes) were wrong

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!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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."
