Breaks in music in stylepicker? #97652 12/17/10 07:09 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

If I preview a style i.e click on a style within the stylepicker and then press play, and then use the arrows at either the top or bottom of vertical scroll bar to peruse some more styles, each time I click it causes a break in the style that I am currently previewing. I wonder if anyone else can replicate this? Thanks, Paddy Paddy McGurk, Liverpool, Don't mention the Beatles!!

I hooked up the 2010 hard drive and this problem is not present. Paddy Paddy McGurk, Liverpool, Don't mention the Beatles!!

Also checked is route midi through to midi driver. It usually only happens when I press play to preview a style in the stylepicker. I then use the mouse wheel to scroll to see other styles while I listen to the orriginal previewed style. The scrolling by the mouse wheel or clicking on the vertical scroll arrows in the stylepicker cause the sound of the playing previewed song to break up. If I don't scroll through the stylepicker the music of the previewed style plays fine. I have adjusted the Driver latency (default =0) in the midi setup to 395ms which seems to have helped. Breakup in sound seems to only happen when I am using the stylepicker. I am running windows 7 (32bit) on a quad core machine with 4gb of ram. Any other ideas appreciated.

I don't touch the mouse wheel, it seems to interrupt the data stream. It's VERBOTEN to me. I've learned to live with it. In my case the fancy HDMI video setup is what I blame, possibly an interrupt sharing or conflict thing. But if when Any audio is streaming and I mess with the mouse wheel it cracks up the audio.

Try turning off all the power-saving options (control panel) -Update drivers for your video card. You can find out what it is by looking at 'display adaptors' in the device manager. Let us know what you find. Andrew PG Music Inc.
