Anyone have any thoughts on this, with the MGU?

I downloaded your MGU file, Untitled Song. MGU. I opened the file using BiaB 2017 build 462 and observed the following:

The style for the song is ZZLATADJ.STY. That is a utility style used to manually set driver latency settings. A utility style is a specialized style for use to perform a specific task. In my opinion it is not a valid style to use while making a song, not even a test song.

The instrument assigned to the Melody track is "Instrument: 25 Nylon String Guitar". The track volume defaults to 0 with center pan, 0 reverb and 0 tone. See photo.

When I adjusted the volume up I could hear and see the track playing notes. See photo.

I just tried the file and it would fine for me. The volume is consistent with other midi-based files.

I noticed before that when you changed to the MME driver, it seemed to have a positive effect on the sound but then latency became unworkable. This suggests that the issue with the ASIO.

What ASIO driver are you using?

Also, have you loaded and tried build 462 that's now available (to see if this makes a difference)?

Jim: I see you were typing at the same time as me. That's a good observation about the style and it slipped past me.

dsbw,

Have you tried a number of midi styles to confirm that the problem is consistent?

Could you please post the name of one of those that you've tried so that I can double-check.

Regards,
Noel

Let me talk about this one first because it's the easiest to answer: I've tried a bunch of different styles. The problem is worse on some than others, but I presume that's just a matter of the mix, i.e., some styles are "noisier" than others and some instruments are meant to blend more.

...okay, I just downloaded 462 and it's dramatically better on ASIO, both in terms of volume and lag, though the lag is still too large to be usable... let me review...

OK, looks like build 462 fixed it!

I had a slight lag from using the Creative Asio drivers but I switched to ASIO 4 All and that seems to be good. I think any apparent lag at this point is probably just from me not being used to the action on the keyboard.

Thanks, guys! I guess I just had to wait for the right build. =P

But y'all taught me a lot so: thanks again!
