Peter:

I need to make a correction/clarification on my initial post. The problem started showing up after the 2011 upgrade since the new method using High Quality Tempo/Pitch Stretching was not in the 2009 or 2010 version of BIAB.

I also notice that since the 1st inception of this ability to do high quality stretching using the file dllellastiquepro.dll, that particular file has never been updated since it 1st was installed in 2011.

I did an experiment this morning by installing a new copy of BIAB starting from 2009. When I upgraded the 2010 version to 2011 and the file dllellastiquepro.dll showed up in the BB directory for the 1st time, I moved that file out of the BB directory to see if my 2012 upgrade would replace that missing file with a possible newer version. I did this same process upgrading to 2012.5, 2013, 2014, 2015 and finally 2016.

Each time I moved the file dllellastiquepro.dll out of the BB directory before doing the next sequential upgrade and each time the file dllellastiquepro.dll showed up in the BB directory after doing the next upgrade. However, the properties of the file were exactly the same. In other words, the file dllellastiquepro.dll has had the same property details since version 2011 of BIAB came out. File size was 437,272 Bytes and the modification date was 11-22-2010. What I see is that dllellastiquepro.dll has never had an update since 2011.

I would be more than happy to work with someone on this to finally resolve my long standing problem. We work on 3 different computers and all 3 has had this error at some time. My last encounter was yesterday after regenerating a song we added a RT to.

I will turn off the High Quality switch and give it a try. As far as hardware, I doubt seriously that is the problem since we have had this happen on 2 desktops and 1 laptop. Desktops use AMD processors and the laptop uses an Intel I7 processor. All 3 computers have 8 gig of memory. I run BIAB on a separate 2 TB 7200 RPM Seagate HD on my Desktops and a 2 TB Hardrive on the Laptop. Sound system are different on all 3 systems as are the video cards. I have tried all combinations of running no anti-virus or malware software, shutting down all un-necessary programs in the background, full admin settings in the Security Policy setting on all 3 computers and so on. I have been playing with this problem on and off for over 4 years now. Next time the problem shows up, I will send PG Support as much detail as I can.
