Hi Guys,

Whenever I change a style, there's always a delay while BIAB prepares things 'under the hood'. Sometimes this can be as long 10 seconds. I appreciate that BIAB is doing some 'heavy lifting' when changing styles but, it'd be nice if it was possible to make this happen faster, or maybe I have a good spec PC (see spec in my signature) and it's just the way it is?

So, understanding that everyone else's PC's are of different specs/condition, it'd be interesting to note what others average time is between switching styles. Anybody care to share their times?

Merci bien..!

You're not catching any replies because this question is in the wrong forum. Tech S.O.S is for everything else BUT PG products or music related stuff. You can read the forum instructions at the top of the forum. This should be in the Band in a Box for Windows forum.

Anyway to answer your question this is totally dependent on the speed of your computer. When you change the style you're changing everything, Biab has to regenerate all the tracks. If you're using midi, it's basically instantaneous but Real Tracks are audio files and they take time to generate. How much time depends on lots of things, first your computer then how many RT's, how long is the song and a big one is if you're using an RT Soloist.

Look at my equipment description below my sig. That system is a mid range fast system with an SSD. I can generate a full 7 track RT song with a Soloist in about 10-15 seconds. My old machine from about 5 years ago with a spinning hard drive would take over a minute. Looking at your computer specs you're not saying if your system drive is an SSD or not. If you're getting 10 seconds and it's all RT's that's very good and the same as I get, if it's only one RT plus midi then it's pretty slow.
