Kent,
Just did some more testing. I am using the UR22MKii as a MIDI Out interface to the Roland SC88 external hardware synth in addition to using the UR22MKii as an audio interface. I tried sending MIDI only songs thru the USB to the UR22MKii (i.e., no Realdrums or Realtracks being outputted), and after 30 minutes, there was audio stutter in the audio coming out of the SC88 synth. I did previously post that I also do get the audio stutter when using the internal Realtek sound hardware fed from the Forte Dxi software synth as well. So I am now suspecting something in the laptop itself.
After I heard the MIDI-only data stream audio stutter, I went into the Windows Event Viewer to see what messages might have been logged. At the exact time of the stutter, I found event messages saying the laptop wanted to go into sleep mode, and other messages saying the HP Comm Recovery Framework software has successfully stopped the PowerEvent. I do have the laptop power setting for the display to turn off when plugged in after 30 minutes. However, when the laptop is running and BIAB is streaming output, the laptop display doesn't look like it is turning off, but there may be some back-and-forth software going on in the laptop, which may be causing the hiccup.
I guess the next step to do is run the BIAB program again and specifically take note of the exact time when a stutter occurs, and then comb thru the Event Viewer to look for event records that may explain what is happening. If this due to one of the display or sleep timers expiring, I guess I'll have to crank up those settings and/or set them to "Never". Normally, the display will not turn off if there is activity on the system, but I'm thinking that activity might need to be actual input such as mouse movement or key entry, and if BIAB is running when the display timer expires, there is something in the HP software that overrides the display turnoff command, but this behind-the-scenes activity might cause the brief stutter that I'm experiencing every 25-30 minutes or so.
Stay tuned!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
