I'm experimenting with regeneratring part ((Ctrl+F8 or Alt+F8) as in the new YT-video, Boot Camp Part 1: Working with the Newest Features. . This seems to work only at the beginning of a track. If I try to regenerate a part that is not at the beginning of the track the result is always silence. See picture.

Is this by design or is it an error?

Hi ThSve,

As MoultiPass has shown, it's possible to do this in the audio editor. It's also possible to select the bars on the chord sheet. Then press ALT+F8 to open the generation dialogue menu.

Just check that the bars selected are correct. In my example...

1) I selected bars 31 and 32

2) The (re)generation window says my start bar is 31 (#1 on image below) and that it goes for two bars (#2 on image). This agrees with what I've selected.

3) Click on OK/ReGenerate.


The advantage of MoultiPass's approach is that it's possible to select partial bars. This is much more powerful.

Regards,
Noel

Alt+F8 also works within the Audio Editor Window and it will also allow selecting less than one bar by unchecking the Bar Based Range Box.

Ok. Did some more experimenting and found out that the reason why it didn't work for me is that the track was set to half-time. Can anyone else confirm this?
While testing I also got several Access violations when entering the Audio edit window.

I set a song to half-time and highlighted bars 12 - 16 to regenerate a guitar solo by using ALT F8 in the chord sheet and that worked with no issues for me.

You say "I set the song to half-time" I don't know if that is the same as I do. It is the specific RealTrack, "Track-Timebase" that is set to "Half-Time" under track settings.

Regenerate part works OK if Track-Timebase is set to Normal.

In my case, the selected style is _BREATH.STY (I tested with others so it doesn't seems to matter). The specific track I have problems with is an added soloist realtrack, 3723 Guitar, Electric, Soloist PopSoulGritSlow128Brent Sw 040. Since the song tempo is 92 BPM, and the realtrack is for 40, I set the RT time-base to half-time.

For the realtrack with the halftime time-base I can regenerate the whole track or a part if it is from the song start. If I select a part in the middle of the song either with Ctrl+F8 from the Chord Sheet or via the Regererate Part dialog (Alt+F8) the result is that the audio is deleted from that part.

I can confirm that the audio is being erased. I've added 3723 Guitar, Electric, Soloist PopSoulGritSlow128Brent Sw 040 (assigned to Guitar 2), changed that guitar to half time, selected 4 bars starting at bar 5, ALT F8 to regenerate those bars. Upon playing, the guitar 2 solo from bar 5 through 8 was erased.

So, yes - that's a bug! I have reported this.

That’s good you’ve reported this. Support should see this thread.

To my knowledge, this was not experienced in beta testing but I also can’t say that anyone tested it on a track with a different time base.

Is this bug known by the developers or do I have to report it in some other way? It is not solved in 1004.

Hi ThSve, I know they are aware, but not sure if it was addressed. https://dl11.pgmusic.com/support/patch/bb2023_win_update_build1005.exe <<-- I have not tested this yet. You might want to try and let us know.

This problem is still there. I reproduced the issue using Build 1006.

Sorry for the "bump", but I don't want this issue to drown to the bottom as this was reported as early as build 1003.
