All the recorded times are within 1 second of the fastest loading of 4.5 seconds. That's the what - don't know why. - Bootup time in millseconds =4,500 [4/2/2014 11:51:43 PM] ** New Session started at : 4/2/2014 11:51:43 PM - Bootup time in millseconds =4,719 [4/2/2014 11:40:44 PM] New Session started at : 4/2/2014 11:40:44 PM - Bootup time in millseconds =4,958 [4/1/2014 11:27:19 PM] New Session started at : 4/1/2014 11:27:19 PM - Bootup time in millseconds =5,059 [4/1/2014 12:01:20 AM] ** New Session started at : 4/1/2014 12:01:20 AM - Bootup time in millseconds =4,988 [3/30/2014 11:29:11 PM] Seems pretty fast. BIAB resides on a plain Jane hard drive, but is kept defragged and optimized. Nothing unusual on the set up - i7; 16 GB ram; Windows 7. A side note: The 'yellow box' report log is very interesting in itself. Thanks for reminding me of its existence. John E.

I have BIAB running on both a Win7 and Win8 machine and am experiencing some of the longest boot times and the broadest variablity reported on both of them. I can tell you my evaulation as a beta tester will get my highest priority. hehe, hope I am not being presumptuous!

Somebody said that there is a setting in ST that tells it which libraries to load and which not to load. If any song that is loaded on bootup has even one of the new PG supertracks that uses a ST patch then ST will load everything. One of my projects I haven't gotten around to yet is to figure out how to tell ST what to load and what to ignore on boot up and then test the boot times. I'm too busy at work for the next few weeks to mess with this but it could be something for you guys to look at.

Look below: - Bootup time in millseconds =8,995 [4/4/2014 7:10:10 PM] - Bootup time in millseconds =36,706 [4/3/2014 6:55:30 PM] April 3rd (lower listing) was prior to exclusion @37 seconds, while it only took 9 seconds when MSE didn't scan the BB: folder. After excluding BBW.exe: - Bootup time in millseconds =7,387 [4/5/2014 9:11:35 AM] FWIW. Bob Last edited by jazzwombat; 04/05/14 05:12 AM.

So when I do: After Excluding: Bootup time in millseconds =7,445 [4/4/2014 8:23:08 PM] Before Excluding - Bootup time in millseconds =36,327 [4/4/2014 5:54:52 PM] We have seen the faster second loads in the past. Given that I rarely turnoff this machine I didn't think this could really be a factor. Time will now tell if the AV exclusion (the whole c:\bb folder) really helps. Its the next day now, and the machine has not been turned off: Bootup time in millseconds =6,227 [4/5/2014 8:10:58 AM] Now for the test. I am going to shut down the machine and restart. - Bootup time in millseconds =14,651 [4/5/2014 8:16:33 AM] Still some large variation going on, but the magnitude of the time appears to be significantly decreased by excluding the c:\bb folder from AV scanning during startup.

Thanks Trevor Hi Trevor: I launched BIAB again this evening and got this: - Bootup time in millseconds =7,059 [4/5/2014 5:08:49 PM] That's pretty close to my earlier startup with MSE excluding bbw.exe. Obviously, not enough samples for statistical significance, but the similarity suggests that excluding bbw.exe from antivirus probing may be the way to go.

I can re-gen and render much quicker. In fact, I loaded every memory intensive program I have, Logic Pro X, BIAB, Amadaeus, iTunes, Pages, iMovie, Safari and 4 photo editing programs -- and the result was a usage of "only" 10g and I could detect no slow down on any operations. I can render a track from BIAB and pop it in a Logic project in a very few seconds. I was previously running 4g. I have no idea how my load time was affected by the upgrade (seemed fast before) but overall the upgrade dramatically changed my whole production experience. And it's cool to have EVERYTHING you might need open with no issues. Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
