Processor peaking around 85%. 64 bit biab stutters and produces noise with same realtrack songs. CPU solid at 100%. Midi thru cakewalk vst seems ok.Have set all power options to max. Desktop Win 10 32 bit runs 2019 biab fine with all files. A bridge too far for my little travel laptop. Garth Windows 11 i5 Laptop PC, Raspberry Pi4B 8gb running Linux and Windows 11.

Song settings can be accessed by right-clicking on a blank spot in the chordsheet and selecting "Song Settings" from the menu that appears. Let us know how you go.

OP Garth Bird Enthusiast G Joined: Jun 2017 Posts: 59 Perth, Australia	Noel, Disabling fast generation of real tracks for this song has now enabled correct output in biab 2019 64 bit on my basic laptop. Found a global version of this setting in options/realtracks. However this appears to affect both 64 and 32 bit executables. Is the biab settings file common to both? If so, should there be a file unique to each version? Why is there a difference between biab 32 and 64 when loading and playing realtracks on my low power laptop? Another can of worms!!

I use a Lenovo think pad 500 A10 processor and 8 gigs of ram and it will struggle under a heavy load of tracks and effects.
