Here is an observation on my system: I don't know that I would call this stuttering, but sporadically I would get a burst of distortion (less than a second) on various songs, usually within the first chorus, but not at the same bar. And, it would only occur once within a play session. Didn't seem to matter whether there were all RealTracks, all MIDI, a mix of both, and whether all, some, or none of the tracks were frozen. This happened with BBW 2013 and BBW 2016 and only in the last 6 months (I did not upgrade to 2014 or 2015). This burst of distortion did not occur in any other audio type applications (SONAR, Windows Media Player, etc. I pretty much dismissed it as a non-BBW related issue, but a week ago I changed the default synth in Options/Midi/Audio Driver Setup... from Coyote to TTS-1. The distortion burst has not resurfaced. The version of the Coyote DLL is ‎1.0.0.1 March ‎26, ‎2011. A quick note about Coyote in BBW 2016. In the options/midi... menu, Coyote Forte and Coyote Wave Table are both listed, however there is only one Coyote instance installed. One can select either. I will switch back to Coyote (Forte and WT) and test further to see if the issue reappears.

Additional Info: I should have mentioned I am running BBW on a local drive, OS=Win 7 Home Premium, Intel I7.
