I'm rather curious as much as anything about usertracks, and think I could come up with some interesting ones using some VSTs that I have. So I tried one, but when the track was inserted in a simple song, that track had a loud constant static sound. So I tried boiling it down to a very simple process and got the same results. Here's what I did, all in a folder under the RealTracks/UserTracks folder as reqired:

1. Loaded the Song_1m_Jazz_1.SGU file and generated the song.
2. Copied the Guitar track to the Audio track (using the new Copy/Move tracks). Now playing back either the guitar real track or the Audio track sound essentially the same.
3. Saved the SGU file, which gives me the .wav file required.
4. Exited and reentered BiaB, which gives me the default song with just a C chord. Plays fine.
5. Added my user track to the Strings track. Incidentally, previewing the Usertrack the guitar playback sounds fine.
6. Generate the song. What results for that track is a lot of noise - peaking the VU meter on that track, so I have to turn it way down. I can discern some sense of the first beat of the measure, but overall it's just a mix of distortion and static.

Anyone done usertracks lately, or have any suggestions. I have some other usertracks that I've found that work fine.
