Mind you-it is BIG discount. Mmmmhhhh??!! Lol


I think you're right, as right now my BIAB system is a bit messed up, but to tell you the truth, BIAB 504 seems quite stable. Though i might have to do a fresh install (Noel's suggestion) of all the goodies present and leave out all the older plus pack stuff etc, to see if that gets rid of f.i. erroneous messages i have about RTs present or not, missing soloists. And the darn bloody interface as always is too filled with drop down with "more" dropdown sub menus. Took me a while to find where the VST/DXI synth was addressed since they moved the page. BUT for those interested: Halion Sonic 3 64bit dll works (as with 2017 470) without jBridge, and is IMO one of the best GM synth modules of the present day. A tip; with both BIAB and Realband you'll need them to run as administrator, otherwise the VST's GUI won't load.

What i still miss most is of the menus and sub menus have to be closed by mouse clicks, and not by the escape button on the PC's keyboard. And also that BIAB 2018 still cannot sync to an external MIDI clock or MIDI time code. - F
