After I entered the track, sometimes it generated, sometimes it didn't. It's weird. It's not stable. Just like in the screenshot. LOOP1 is successful, LOOP2 is never created. I don't know what went wrong. Also, can LOOP be generated separately? I hit Generate All every time.

The strangest thing is that he may generate it later. Everything depends on luck. So, is this actually a bug in Biab, or is it a personal operational issue for me?

I find sometimes I get in a hurry and will change how I perform a task and not even be aware of the change.

Maybe it's not refreshing or updating things ?

Then some problems appeared in the MAC version, and were they repaired? I can only use the WINDOWS version, and I hope it will be fixed as soon as possible. In fact, I am looking forward to having a big respawn button next to each track in the mixer or track, so that I can generate it myself.

Are you using your own private loop list library? Studio One (latest version), Win 11 23H2 , i9 -10940X 3.3 GHz, 32GB Mem, a 4K 40" monitor, PreSonus Studio Live III Console as interface/controller. secondarily test on Reaper, Cakewalk, and S1 on Surface Pro 3 Win 10 (latest versions).

Steps to reproduce: 1) Import a user directory of loops. 2) Select one of those user loops to use on a track 3) Hit regenerate Expected results: The loop plays indefinitely on the track. Actual behavior: The loop does not play or even load. Can someone with user loops please CONFIRM this?

EDIT: also try renaming to simple name loop01.wav loop02.wav I don't think it has anything to do with this. The reason is that's how I've always written. BIAB's official LOOP may also have problems. Do I still have to modify all official BIAB folders? This is a video I took. I used the official LOOP. I don’t necessarily know when my LOOP will appear, but I don’t know when it will be generated. It all depends on luck. WIN10 20H2, AMD R4800H ,16G , 2T ,FOCUSRITE 2i4 MKII，Studio One,FL STUDIO
