I'm sure it's something really simple but I can't seem to generate a loop in RealBand. I go to the 'Generate' tab and choose 'Select and Generate Loop'. I adjust the tempo if different to my song and the press OK. Nothing happens (except the word "Untitled" changes from black to green. It is possible to import a 2-bar loop as a wave file (from D:\BB\REALTRACKS\Loops) but this is a very laborious process. HELP! Mike

Is it possible you can post a screenshot?

Thanks for your reply. I can't send screenshots at the moment. What is the first step I should take to generate loops? Is it the same process as generating RDs and RTs? Thanks Mike

I think Mike is right, this feature appears broken at the moment.

Thanks John. What version of RealBand are you using? I recently upgraded to Build 4. Is it possible for me to go back to Build 3 and try to generate loops? Mike

Yep, you should be able to reinstall build 3 update and revert. And John told me this worked for him, but I tried again and got same failed result.
I have also done what I can to make sure the development team sees our issue.

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."
