When I select the CMPFMF2.sty Campfire, Medium Fingerpicking Style or any of the similar styles that include a fingerpicking guitar i have issues. It creates the render file BUT nothing else AND the render file continues to GROW until it's over 15 GIG... Band in a Box is frozen and I need to "kill" it with task manager and then delete the file... If I use a different style without the fingerpicking it's fine...

I am running Windows 10 and BIAB 2017 latest build.

I can not answer your question but I will add that you should never put your email address on any forum. If you need to send your email address then either use a Private Message (PM) or write as davidevans AT comcast DOT net. A PM is the best method IMHO.


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Dave,

I just tried the above style and it rendered fine for me.

There are a number of ways of rendering a file to audio and you don't say which one you used. As an experiment, can you please try the following.

1. Right-click on the link below and download the test SGU file that I created.

Test File for RT 522 (link)

2. Generate and play the file.

3. Follow the image below to render the file to audio. The sequence is shown by the numbers.

  • Check the path where the file(s) will be rendered to (#3 on image)
  • Make sure the settings shown in boxes #4 and #5 are the same as shown.
  • Select button #6 to render the file.
  • When rendering is complete, close the dialogue box.

Let us know the outcome.

Thanks, I'll give this a try and let you know how it goes... I just had a friend of mine try it on his machine and it worked fine also. He used my song as his test and it worked so I know it's something wrong with my install... I will reinstall 2017 and see if that fixes it...
