Hi,
For twenty years (off and on) I've been trying to change styles and instruments throughout a BIAB song with no success.

Today - I thought I'd have another go - I've got the latest Notebook, the latest version of BIAB, more processing power and RAM than I could ever use, I have no other programs loaded and I know BIAB is meant to be able to do this - why not?

After an hour or so BIAB begins to crash and burn - it starts with random volume changes, then random instrument changes, then random style changes throughout the song and then finally instruments start to completely drop out randomly throughout the song. Then the only solution is to delete the whole song and start again. Once a song has fully gone haywire - you can't fix it even if you delete all the bars in the song completely.

The only other thing you can do is create new songs for every change of instrument and style and then render each of them into your sequencer and spend hundreds of hours putting the song together in the sequencer.

Actually you don't do this - you go and do something more worthwhile.

Any suggestions or alternate applications?
