Hi all.
I'm getting this horrible clipping buzz at the end of every song with real tracks. I've never experienced this in any other version.
Anyone else? Any solutions?
Thank you in advance!

Can you describe your audio setup and provide a sample of the buzz?

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Well I'm not sure how to provide (capture the buzz) but it's done it everytime on every song with real tracks only since 2024 as I stated. I can tell you it's very loud and dimes out the mixer.
Also, I'm not able to post a screenshot here which seems weird.
I don't know how to post the audio buzz even if I captured it. Maybe because I don't understand the forum either.

I'm using a Focusright Scarlett 212 3rd gen interface.
At the moment I have audio settings on WAS instead of ASIO but either way I get the buzz.
The buzz appears on the Drum channel and the vibes channel in this case.
Also buzz occurs whether I have vsti/dxi checked or not.

Can you post the buzz to SoundCloud?

And to upload a screenshot hit "Attachment Manager".
I usually use .jpg format

I can't figure out how to record it right now sorry. I was hoping it was a problem that others had with 2024 and could just tell.
I tried to record it with reaper but cant get reaper to sound so I'm screwed.

Ok, try this. The recording is crap just mic from speaker but you'll hear the buzz at the end. This is the best I could do before work.

Yep, I can definately hear and see it.
I've never experienced this.

It is repeatable at the end of any RealTrack?
And it happens only with BiaB 2024? Meaning, you can play buzz-free audio from YouTube, Windows Media Player and Reaper?

It could be a 60 Hz hum caused by a cable problem somewhere but that seems unlikely since it happens only with 2024 and you say it only happens at the end of the song.
This tells me it's software related.
Have you recently installed any other new software?
You might try resetting to factory settings and do a full system reboot and virus scan.
Are you running BiaB on an external drive?

Can I ask if you found a solution for this please? I have exactly the same problem - have just upgraded to 2024 (Windows) and get the same loud ‘buzz’ generated at the end of every song.
I haven’t updated/downloaded anything else and I’ve never had this issue before and the problem can only be something associated with the upgrade - too much of a coincidence to be anything else!

There's a post in the Windows section that has gotten the attention of the folks at PG. Know they'll get on top of it soon.

Yes, the problem was resolved happily.
Two factors: Make sure you install everything. Secondly, make sure you reboot your system afterwords. There was no prompt to reboot and in my excitement I just dove into the program. I tend not to reboot often. I hate to admit it but that solved the problem. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one and it definitely was specific to this install. Let us know if the reboot works.

Thanks for update. I re-booted after install and, as far as I’m aware, correctly installed all the updates. I’ll double-check the install later in case I’ve missed something.

Nope. Still got the problem, but maybe not do consistently now. I thought it had gone away when I took a look last night, but it started again this morning. I haven’t had a chance to make a proper investigation yet, but, So far as I can see, the noise occurs on the drum track - right after an auto generated 2-bar ending. Don’t know yet if it’s always the drum track and whether it only happens when an auto end is used.

Well, since this is a song showcase forum, it's not going to be the BEST place to get help with a technical issue. I'd recommend opening the Live Chat link at the top of this page. They can walk you through the setup basics and help you with the next steps. Don't give up...it's worth it!

So sorry, for starting this in the song showcase forum. That's my bad!
The issue has returned so I'll try to move it to another thread.

There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4).

And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.
