Hi Frankie,
Can you explain in more detail what you mean by "drag"? We need some more information so that we can understand what you are experiencing. Also, are you playing a keyboard or MIDI controller through BIAB?
Regards,
Noel

What driver are you using? Is it an ASIO driver and is that where you adjusted the latency settings? This sounds like a buffering issue maybe?

It is normal with some sound cards to lower latency when recording and raise it back on playback. Yes, is this an ASIO driver?
And just to be clear, we are talking about playing back a BIAB song IN BIAB, correct?

Breakup is caused by too small an audio buffer so increase by say 50 at a time. Latency is audio being out of sync with midi is caused by buffer size and round trip time in and out. To sum up : The larger the buffer the less the stutter and break up . but the greater the Lateny And visa versa. See this thread here. On break up and check your synth settings for buffer size. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=75936&Number=530019#Post530019Mike PS By the way the latency settings in BIAB only effect the visual display that you see in notation and chord sheet to make them appear in step . They do not alter the round trip time in and out of your synth. The only way to do that is with buffer sizes or faster drivers like asio if you can. An external midi synth or module connected to the midi driver will have near enough Zero. Where as a virtual synth running in the the pc will req some buffer for when the pc is busy doing other things like running the program, and any external task (anti virus etc)
