Hi Benny,

I think you may be referring to the amount of time it takes a BIAB song to generate a song that includes RealTracks and not really referring to "rendering" a song here. "Rendering" is the act of automatically converting the entire song to an Audio file without having to record it play back from end to end. Rendering can work when your MIDI is being played by a softsynth.

The amount of time it takes for BIAB to generate the RealTracks after a song has been loaded and you hit the Play button for the first time is dependant upon the speed and power of your computer processor and associated hardwares such as amount of RAM available, disk throughput speed, etc.

There will always be some kind of wait state there, but what we really need to know is your average wait time in seconds to load a known song in order to compare that to what others are experiencing. I suggest you pick one of the PGMusic RealTrack Demo songs for this one so that others can load the same exact song at their end and report the loading times before the song plays.

Of course, if you are low on RAM, that's the first step to take anyway, no matter what.
