As you know Ive been having problems finding a few songs I recorded on biab 2010.I managed to find one and opened it to play.Ok here are the problems Im having.Sometimes the song will play until part way through the song it speeds up and Im sure I can hear another drum track in the background.Then when I do a restart The yellow message just freezes and the song plays with a terrible latency and I cant stop it until I hit the buttons on my keyboard ctrl alt del even then it could take as long as a minute before Im able to close biab.Obviously Im disapponted with this but just have to say I have no problem loading and playing songs from the styles.It appears there is a conflict on my PC between biab 2010 and 2011 so I will just redo the songs again in the new version but I am disappointed with the problems Im getting Frankie

Do the songs have frozen tracks?

Were they froze in 2010 and now BiaB is attempting to play those licks with the new tracks and engine?

Maybe you froze some tracks with the 'un-needed +/-' files being used. (?)

I guess what I'm saying is if the song had frozen tracks that used the files that got erased, then it may be an issue.

The fact they wouldn't play while frozen points to this as a possible cause.

Did you erase the "un-needed +/- files?
If you did not erase them yet, do you have a check in the 'use +/- files' box?
Set it so you CAN use them and see what happens

Otherwise I'm not sure what the fix would be for this issue.
