Ran fairly well, but there a few flakey issues with this build that I did not have last year.

1. It keeps saying that my interface is set at a sample rate of 48,000, but it is not, it is at 44,100

2. Some error pop ups on the artist tracks.

3. A little midi issues where it was missing notes.

I will go thru the setup a bit more and see what shakes out.

Okay here is more information.

1. RB on my system will not load User Tracks.

2. It will crash if you click on undo for any generation of an RT

3. RT 2491 i believe Rockabilly piano generates improperly, it skips around and does not chain together properly, almost like it does not know which part to use to build a full track.

build 414 BiaB build 2 RB

I've been encountering some oddities too:

occasionally out of the blue on a project that has run before, I'll get the message that my sound card is not supported at the configured sample rate. But if I keep on keepin' on.. it works.

I tried exporting ANY kind of audio.. WAV, WMA and MP3 ... and couldn't get any of them to work reliably when I merged all audio and midi to a stereo audio track. It took forever, and the resulting file would not play or even open in any audio editor. But, I could export individual tracks fine... just not a mix of all tracks. (but I need to do that a lot)

Sometimes when I reopen a project that worked fine last time it was open, as the song plays, it starts pausing in longer increments until the PC locks up. I mentioned this problem about a year ago, and that was on a different computer. Resetting to factory settings does not fix it. The only thing that fixes it is removing all track plugins then reapplying them.

I'm really good at causing my own problems by doing things incorrectly... but I don't see how I could be inadvertently causing any of these 3 problems. Yet, others are posting songs created in 2015, so they must be able to export their mixes.

I have applied the most recent patches... maybe I should try reinstalling from hard drive then update the patches

I'm getting the same behavior here Robh.

If I haven't already generated a loop, and try to generate a user track, I get nothing. But if I've already generated a loop, thereafter every time I try to generate a user track it generates the last loop again.

Regarding UNDO... I get an access violation after undoing a generation of a real track... but then the track "undoes" and my machine is NOT locked up.

I completely reinstalled BIAB/RB from the new hard drive, then installed the latest updates, but it still won't generate user tracks.

Can anybody else verify?

Cannot play or render User Tracks. My problem has been that RT are played by MEE drivers but not ASIO. Not a great problem as I can use ASIO drivers for the major part of the developments.

well that's 3 people who can't generate user tracks in the latest build of RB.

I was going to ask for more verification from people who can't generate UT; but maybe a better question would be "is there anybody who CAN?"

OK,
new information:

there are 3 ways to access the GENERATE menu. The one on the tool bar and the one in the main menu produce the results described above.

But the GENERATE on the track's RIGHT CLICK menu works when I try to generate user tracks...

So maybe that's why it works for some people but not others... different people are using different ways to call up the generate menu

on a whim I installed to a different PC. Got the same results there:
The tracks right click worked but the toolbar and main menu generate option for user tracks didn't work as expected. I Either got nothing at all or the last loop that I generated.

just out of curiosity... have you tried the toolbar or main menu GENERATE ?

I can't tell from your reply whether you mean it works in all menus on your system, or whether you've only tested it on the tracks right click menu, and it worked there.

I can only attest to right-click.
I can't recall specifically using the menu path.
Habits; they influence use, results (and testing).
If your findings are correct (and I assume they are) this should have been caught in the testing stages.

/I can only claim to be partially to blame on this one..

Until tonight, I only ever used the GENERATE on the tool bar... and it worked during my earliest tests.
