Hi Dazz,

You are using the Global "performance" countin setting wbut the Render to Audio's separate setting is for this purpose.

Not a bad thing, because this answers each individual case with a way to get what is desired by users. Some may not want the audible countin in performance or practice,

When Rendering to Audio, slow down and read all the options available in the Render to Audio Window.

Down at the bottom is a checkbox to not Render the countin.

**Any .wav, .wmv or other digital audio file that is in the same folder as your BB songfile, and has the same exact filename prefix, will load and play on the Audio track in BB along with the BB autoaccompaniment performance.**

If you have that situation, you should look into the folder where that songfile is stored, find the Audio file and move it out of the folder or delete it in order to have just the BB performance load and play back. OR you can use the Audio tab inside BB, leftclick and choose Mute Audio or if you desire to permanently delete the audio file, choose Kill Audio there.

Have Fun,
