I'm using BiaB 2022 Audiophile Version Build 905 on Windows 10.

Would someone kindly please check the _CTRYPOP.STY style for me.

Whenever I select this style, there is a horrid piano crunch on the 'Soloist' track which is loaded by default and I can find no way of removing/deleting this.

The style description in the 'style Picker' window shows the 'Soloist' track as being empty yet I have this 'interference' every time, I load the style in a project even in a new fresh project.

I realise this can be muted but I thought I would check it out as a possible bug the team might want to know about.

Thanks

No such problems here. I loaded _Ctrypop demo, and it played fine. Nothing on Soloist track. No strange noises unless you consider a Pedal Steel to be strange. grin

Thanks for checking.

I wonder if it would it make any difference loading the style into an actual project. Maybe the demo is clean.

I'm unable to test the demo as I don't have Media-Player installed on my system.

If there are currently tracks filled with a prior style, I have seen cases where these will remain when the new style is loaded. Keep an eye out for that.

Or you could just try to RTFS and try again.

Thanks everyone for replying.

Unfortunately the problem persists, in fact, it is worse than I first thought as the interference on the Soloist track affects any style , not just the one I was using at the time.

To ensure there is no cross-contamination from other projects, I completely uninstalled the 2022 version, thoroughly cleaned out my system, re-downloaded the program and made a fresh install and made a totally new project. The piano crunching interference on the soloist track is definitely there and very prominent.

Here is an audio clip of the noise on the track.

I have been using BiaB for 15 years and have never experienced this before. Yes, I know I can mute the 'Soloist' track but I'd rather fix the problem.

Thanks.
