I am running the latest BIAB in Windows 7 64-bit SP1.

I use the Focusrite Pro14 Firewire audio interface in ASIO mode.

I have no problems setting up the playback sample rate to 48 kHz in DAWs like Live 8.3 or Sonar Producer Expanded X1d (535) but sometimes have trouble with other applications.

That's because the Focusrite Control panel won't always show up or launch from some apps for some reason (?!).

BIAB is like that. I can't get the audio control panel for Focusrite to launch so that I can adjust the audio sample rate to 48kHz.

As a result, I can only use the default 44.1 kHz sample rate.

I tried running BIAB as administrator and everything else I can think of, but I can't get 48kHz sample rate.
I also tried looking in the registry for something that might be a default sample rate.

Any ideas?

Jim,

BIAB is a 44.1 kHz application. Maybe that has something to do with it. With this in mind, it might pay to drop support@pgmusic.com an email and ask.

AFAIK BIAB won't run at 48k. I even tried this on my MOTU. I can access my MOTU software from the ASIO button in BIAB and can change the sampling rate on the MOTU there to 48k and watch it change on the face of the MOTU unit, but as soon as I hit OK it changes back to 44.1.

Hi,

That's correct, Band-in-a-Box only works in 16bit/44.1. RealBand supports other sampling rates, but if you changed the sampling rate in your interface's control panel, it would only make BIAB's playback sound funny.

Thanks
