Thank you Dan for looking at it, and your reply generated questions. I prefer not to use codas and repeats, so rather than have my songs loop back via coda to play the same melody passage or same chorus passage I just write the measures again. Is THAT an issue?



Not that I am aware of since it is within the 255 limit.

Now, I never get to the step where it finishes rendering for me to try and load it into my Sonar. It sits for about 90 seconds, and then I get a "not responding" error and the screen whites out. Sometimes I can stop it in task manager, more often I have to restart the laptop.

Did you also try to "drop" it using the drop button? I get the same freeze up problem when I try to go that route.?



In my mind it is about two things... 1) workflow and 2) horsepower. BIAB has got a half dozen ways to do essentially the same thing. You have to find the way that works for you. And you need a kick ass DAW (not sure this second item is really necessary, but it don't hurt)

So, logic... if YOU can render it, logic says it isn't the file. By week's end I will have my new Dell desktop. That means I will install BIAB fresh on a new computer, not install ANY other programs, and that computer will not be on my home network. No chance of the old scapegoat "you must have a virus or spyware" exit strategy.
We'll see.....




Good luck with the new Dell. My work bench which I sit at has three (3) Dells all up and running as I speak.

And I will put together the video of this render so you can see exactly the buttons I push and how I push them. give me a few days for this.
