Mine totally locks my computer up. In fact when I do ANYTHING but initially enter chords and play the song back, this software locks me up. I am afraid to say anything here though because all of these people immediately jump all over me and say I am an idiot and I am doing something wrong.

One of you people who continue to say I am stupid and it is user error please explain how it is different when YOU click the "render to wav" button and when I click the "render to wav" button that it freezes my computer up when I do it? Clicking the mouse on the "render to wav" button isn't exactly a daunting task, and there is no way to do it wrong. Yet BIAB freeze my computer EVERY TIME when I try to render to wav or use the drop feature so I can send it over to Sonar. I can't do anything but use it for the first level basic composition stage, and even THEN when I go to play back it tells me my Real Tracks folder is in the wrong place. Well, my Real Tracks folder is where BIAB put it during installation, and where it was when I was writing the song. I will FLY YOU IN TO CLEVELAND and let YOU click the render to wav button, and when it fails for you like it does for me, you can pay me back for the ticket.

I have removed and reinstalled this like FIVE TIMES after all the veterans here told me I somehow clicked the "setup" button wrong. Just like they keep telling me I am doing "something" wrong when I try to render to wav. Or that "some files" must be corrupted. Until someone can define "something", or explain to a 29 year computer veteran how "some files" got corrupted, assume I am doing nothing wrong. The setup routine for any software is like cutting cookies out of dough. It runs the same every time. It is a computer program and executes commands as programmed. It is not intuitive and does not have the ability to say "Well, THIS time I will corrupt these 4 files". Hence the name "program", as in "follow the commands as written every time you execute". There is nothing to do wrong.

I hoped that last patch 318 would fix this thing. It did not. This is $300 I wasted on this thing. This program just does not work as advertised beyond basic composing. When I can't send to Sonar or even render to wav, there is a bug in the sofware. This program is running on a pristine computer. I will send my laptop to anybody who wants to see it for themselves. I will not miss it, as I can not use it as is anyway.

Any takers?
