Oldtimer,

Did you try the suggestion by Rachael and Peter Gannon in the early posts where they mentioned disabling the "Speed Up Generation of Realtracks"?

This is found under ...

1. Select "Opt" (1) and then "Preferences" (2).



2. From the "Preferences" dialogue window, select "Realtracks".



3. Remove the check mark from "Speed up generation of Realtracks".



In an above post, Mac mentioned 'background processes'. The generating of Realtracks is one of those background processes that could cause static. Disabling this will mean that it will take 30 seconds or so before a song will start to play because BIAB completes compiling the backing before playing it. (With the option enabled, BIAB tries to compile and play simultaneously and this uses a huge amount of a computer's resources.)

Also ...

What audio driver are you using? This is found under "Opt", "Preferences", "Audio". The MME driver is the best one to have selected.

Hope this helps,
Noel
