When practicing I may set it to play 12 bars or so about 10 -20 times so I can practice. After about 6 times it starts to get really jerky, going on and off. This hasn't happened before . Any clues to what might be causing this problem?

Thanks

kristen,

What version of BIAB do you have?

Also, what update are you presently running?

Lastly, are you using repeats, looping or number of choruses to get the repetitions that you mention?

Regards,
Noel


Also....

Hardware: what sound card and what driver mode are you using?

hesitation and pausing are often a result of mixed tracks.... audio and midi in a project with a sub par driver mode and factory sound card.

I have pretty bad latency, another symptom of the driver/hardware combo, on my lap top when I run the factory card but only with mixed tracks & midi, like I first mentioned. Straight audio does fine.

You can also adjust your audio buffers to allow it to have more "look ahead" time. Often that can resolve choppy audio.
I use BIAB 2014. I don't use it that much, but the last time I used it was probably a few months ago. I was running a 24 bar song about 20 times over. No problems.
So I don't know what happened last night.
mmmmm Just tried playing a 32 bar sequence for 20 times. No hiccups.

Guess its ok now??

Hi Kristen,

It wouldn't be too unusual to run into hiccups with a high number of choruses, but if it only had an issue that one time, your anti-virus may have been running a scan. Did you have any other applications running?

Thanks

If it's pulsating (about .5 sec on off sound), you're on windows 10 and use USB audio the cause is probably some windows update, graphics related. Get the latest graphics driver, set or choose basic settings with no gaming acceleration, and switch off power management for USB. IMO Windows 10 updates automatically screws up latter settings BTW, why i always switch it off and use an external program to select only the necessary security updates. -F
