I can't get a smooth transition using the mode Now and stay in time. There is a pause .
Is this a latency issue or does anyone have any suggestions?

Also I have seen a lack of consistency. I tried to test out different scenarios. Going back to the 1st chorus seems ok and jump ahead to last chorus (at next part marker) ( or Chorus). A problem occurs when commanding an end. The default button is 6 but sometimes 6 would say last chorus instead of end. I closed out the song and rebooted.I can't pin down what fixed it or started the problem again.

I just wondered if it was just me and my settings or if others have had problems with the conductor.

Glad Conductor has come up again. I'm using BIAB (2011.5) live and a sax player friend sat in with us last night at a small winery gig. He's a 20+ year pro, UNT background, "real-deal", etc. , and we had a fun night. He loved the Realtracks sounds (via Mackie) and swinging grooves. Would have been absolutely perfect if Conductor worked with Realtracks as we could have changed the number of choruses in real time to accommodate a new player.

I would think a revamped Conductor with an HMI redesign with live gigging players in mind could be viewed as a valuable BIAB upgrade. Would most certainly be on my Xmas list.

Thanks

The improvement that tops my wishlist is an upgraded Conductor that would work well with realtracks. This would make BIAB so much more viable for jazz gigs.

I would be satisfied if they just fixed the conductor so it would properly receive midi commands from the keyboard.

Nudge Kent.... he has documented this bug, and says it would be fixed in the next upgrade... several upgrades ago.

Hi Bra,
What MIDI commands issue are you referring to?


Have Fun!

Thanks for responding, Peter.

I don't have time to type out the problem in detail, so I have forwarded a series of emails between myself and Kent, from last July, which serve to nail down the problem. I just sent them to support@pgmusic.com.

I still suspect I have settings problems. The PG Music software has been excellent. I have been using it off and on for almost it's beginning . At least I remember using it on windows 3. Anyway I have found the problems I have encountered were the result of incorrect settings on my part. Unfortunately I don't have a full understanding of the Audio settings so there in lies the real problem. My PC is a 3.5 GHZ 6 core with 8g memory so I have enough horsepower. I'm running Win 7 64. Other than the conductor and a minor notation issue BIAB has worked great. I use it more since the realtracks came on. I really would like to get the conductor to work right but I don't know what changes to make.
