But only with Band in a box. __________________________ - Sometimes it happens just when loading a song, that worked fine before. - Sometimes when i load a song > listen to it > and save it again., without any changes. - Sometimes when i just try to change style, or sound. - Sometimes when i try to add a plugin. - Another example: Today i loaded a song in Biab, and get the error about low memory. So i closed Biab., and launched Biab again, and the the same song, and it worked fine. _________________________ One solution: Notised that it sometimes helps to remove one plugin (if i´m fast enough to do it after loading a song), and save it again after changes. _________________________ Using Band in a box 2017 with Windows 8.1 64-bit, and J-Bridge installed.

Right-click on the startup shortcut, select properties, select the "Compatibility" tab, then activate "Run this program as an administrator". Regards, Noel MY SONGS...

Had an external with BIAB once, copied all needed stuff off it, run format, then ran fix errors with repair options for sectors. Mind you, this can take hours with a large drive. The drive seems OK now, but use it less frequent for other stuff as i distrust it a little and bought another one. F
