Dude, whatever trashed your system wasn't Biab. That's just some weird coincidence.

Some very good people here offered to help and you just went off on them implying they have no clue how this stuff works or worse they're lying or PG Music is lying with the demos.

All I'll say is you are not the only pro level music producer on this forum.

These programs work just fine.

This is NOT about a steep learning curve. It's about the fact that BIAB F***** up my computer and there was NOTHING wrong with it before I installed BIAB. Am I finally getting through?

I can navigate every major DAW on the market today. No matter how convoluted the interface might be - BIAB being one of the worst. I was doing fine with BIAB UNTIL it crashed my computer, gave me the blue screen of death and completely destroyed my $500 installation of Ampltiube.

You should really listen to what I'm saying instead of trying to convince me to stick around and keep going with BIAB. Trust me, I cannot be swayed by incessant sales pitches.

My PC was unusable with the PG software on it. After spending the last 24 hours reinstalling things and getting rid of all the leftover BIAB garbage things are finally starting to work again.

If you really need to know my specs, here they are:

AMD Athlon II X4 630 Processor 2.80GHz
1 TB HDD - 16GB of RAM (although RAM is irrelevant because Windows won't use it all in applications anyway)
M-Audio Delta 2496 Audiophile Sound Card - updated drivers, yada yada
Samson Resolv 40A Studio Monitors
No hardware inputs - strictly DI into the PCI card

Again, I'm done with this. I don't have the software anymore anyway so I shouldn't even be here. I was just pissed off because you people won't read my posts properly. So I guess I'm wasting my freaking time. I KNOW how to use BIAB, I owned it years ago. But the 2014 version messed up my PC BADLY.

Ciao


Strato,

Welcome to the forum. I probably believe that you feel that biab messed up your computer, and for the following reason.

Its been my experience that any piece of software, be it biab in your case or for example an antivirus or firewall (both in my case) can really mess up your computer, due to some reason which is probably too much trouble to find out.

It has happened to me countless times with different software, but not biab or realband yet, sure realband in particular can crash now and again, but it has not totally messed up my windows 7 installation.

When that does happen I simple reinstall my Acronis disk image of the whole OS and restart again installing the software and if the same thing happens again, I reach the conclusion that the software that I am trying to install is for some reason not compatable with my system. That has never happened with either biab or realband yet. Amplitude may be a problem now and again, but that's more a copy protection thing to do with that company not PGmusic.

For the record PGmusic give you a 30 day guarantee so if you are not happy then you can request your money back.

Strato as I said again you are very welcome to the forum, great bunch of people here will help you in every way they can.

Why don't you have another go with biab?

Best regards
Musiclover

After reading Stratos' most recent posts, I'm under the opinion that we may not want to encourage him to stick around...he actually might!
