That illustrates the frustration perfectly, sixstring.

WAY too many vague boxes. The box says "render to wav", not "render to wav if and after this specific and ordinal set of conditions is met". I just want to make my BIAB file into a wav file. That doesn't seem like it should be complicated, nor should it have to meet any conditions. Nor should it not work 19 times and suddenly "fix itself" on the 20th try.

I understand why the long time users of this program think it is easy to do some of these basic functions. That's not the issue. After playing baseball for years I know why the best pitches to hit will come on 2-0 or 3-1 counts. I just know. An experienced painter knows why to paint only when the temperature and humidity are just so. An experienced plumber can solder copper pipe perfectly by feel. The answer is "experience".

If it is indeed true that before rendering to wav can be accomplished that specific conditions must be met, then when we click the render to wav button we should get a box that says "Make sure you have done this, this and this or this won't work" rather than have it just fail and freeze my computer.

Similar in concept to why I get an error about the location of my Real Tracks directory which is right where it has been since day 1 and is where BIAB put it during installation. Why do I get THAT error any time I have created a solo section?
