Sly if what i said offended you i apologize, I am trying to help. As VT said this is process, and we all have issues at times. I am wrestling RB myself this morning and it is winning at the moment. I don't mind folks pointing out issues, but just saying i have 16 gigs of ram so it is RB's fault is not correct, you could have 160 gigs of ram, and if you have a setting wrong in the audio/midi setup it will crash on you. I have had every program i own crash once in a while. If the system crashed with two simple audio tracks, that tells me even more it is a setup issue. adding ram, building a new system, changing DAWs, none of this beats a patient approach to setup, and learning.

On a side note i spend about 5 years helping folks setup cakewalk Music creator at their forum, and i watched new folks come in in droves and struggle and blast the software, and in the end it was always, always i will repeat setup issues. Herb Hartley (aka Guitarhacker) can atest to this, he was there with me. I can't count the times i even got online and mirrored someones computer to help fix things.

I sit here this morning fighting a darned corrupted file! that is one you will have someday sooner or later doing this, and dagnabit, it is one of RB's worst faults to my mind. But i have to realize that if Cubase/reaper/sonar did all the things RB does in it's generation process it would crap out as well sometimes.

Don't get frustrated, it won't help, and did you actually call support and get some advice on the setup?
