When I play it from BB it sometimes plays an F# note over a Dm9 chord which doesn't really sound right in this context. As follows the link to a screen recording that shows the issue around 0:14 and 0:53. First example I figured out that it obviously hardly happens when in the audio export when the progression has no or rare repetitions. I tried it several times but with pretty short versions it was always correct. Short export without the issue As I continued working with longer exports for about 20 repetitions to reach about half an hour playing time it again appeared. Again a link to just the exported Bassline which demonstrates the issue. Just the first part of a longer Bassline with issues. It is present at about 0:19 & 0:58. Within the application it happens most of the time (also short versions) and after each new render it appears at different positions. Sometimes it even plays the F# for the very first Dm9 after the count in which cannot even be interpreted as "jazzy" at least not in my opinion. I also put the song file into the Dropbox in case this might help to figure out what's wrong with it. BB Song file Also I have the feeling that the entire bass track is always a bit laid back, IMHO maybe a tiny bit too much. But I really would like to use this RT if it'd sound as expected because it's the only one I found in my collection that does exactly this particular shuffle bass. As a temporary replacement I used RT386: "Bass, Electric, SoulFunkSwingAlex Sw 120". It plays correctly which probably proofs there is no issue with the application or my chord progression. But the style is not quite fitting as good as the original one. Thanks in advance. Last edited by HaPe1302; 06/04/23 04:07 AM. Cheers, HaPe

We will fix the issue with that Bass. One tip - if you freeze the track, this will have it play the same each time, so a good way to demonstrate a problem like that (that only happens sporadically) is to freeze the track and save the song with the track frozen. You could also use that method to get rid of the bad note - highlight just the bars with the problem, select the Bass track, and press F8 to re-generate. Then, make sure the track is frozen (Snowflake button on the Mixer). Andrew PG Music Inc.
