I have been using BIAB on Dell laptops at my church at least twice a week for over 6 years and I could count on one hand the number of times that either the computer or BIAB has malfunctioned (and who knows, those instances could have been operator error of some kind). I'd say that's pretty trustworthy. To me, it's not worth the time and trouble to burn a CD, plus I would give up the ability to change a song on the spur of the moment, add one that wasn't planned, change the song order at the last minute, etc.

And like Mac says, the minor variations that come with a fresh generation of the song each time it is used are nice - very nice, indeed.

I just finished rehearsal for this Sabbath, and found the sequence of steps I listed above (in my last message) to work without fail. So I guess that's the solution. The main trick was to play only the last 3-4 bars after entering the expression fade on the ending chord so it wouldn't regenerate, then freeze the strings track and resave the song. Clicking on play (as I had previously been doing) almost always causes regeneration which loses the fade for some reason, even if the song has been resaved before playing.

Still wish I knew how or where to simply turn off the legato feature...anybody?
