I was told to restore my install of BIAB back to it's factory settings. I did that, and now can't hear any MIDI files on playback. Can someone help me find that setting to change? I'm a little lost in the GUI. THANKS! Jim -------------------- Jim Oklahoma City, OK https://SingingDogStudios.com/ https://soundcloud.com/singingdogstudios

If Mike's suggestion doesn't work check your audio inputs and outputs to make sure that the selected choices matches your audio interface. Note - In my case I have the internal audio devices tuned off and use my external Roland Octa-Capture as my audio interface. Win 10 reset my BiaB audio to the motherboard audio interface which was off! Good luck My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

So yes, whatever may have caused it, check your settings again. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home.

OP jimmadsen Apprentice Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 139 Oklahoma	Hi Mike - thanks for the reply! Turns out I needed to install the Coyote Wave Table before I could check the VST/DXI box. Do to that I went to HELP -> UTILITIES -> INSTALL COYOTE WAVE TABLE SYNTH... That seemed to do the trick. Hope this helps any other newbies out there who may be running into the same issue. THANKS AGAIN! -------------------- Jim Oklahoma City, OK https://SingingDogStudios.com/ https://soundcloud.com/singingdogstudios

You can of course install / add other vst s or dxi and use those, but they must be GM in order to get all the standard midi voices, Some are using the 32 bit version of the cakewalk TTS 1 dxi Others may use Yamaha XG lite vst that I made available . There is a fair bit of choice around, The coyote WT will server you well, till you get used to all this stuff and is always my goto for snagging, Have fun Mike BIAB2021 UltraPlus,AsusN55S1Tbssd, W10/64,Akai EIEpro Yamaha CVP405,SquireStrat, CoolsoftVMidSynth Novatation Impulse61 Ctr kbd, Cwalk blab Kontakt http://mikesmusic.byethost16.com/

OP jimmadsen Apprentice Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 139 Oklahoma	THANKS EVERYONE! Now a follow up question. How do I turn off the count in? I know I figured it out before, but now that I've reset to factory settings, it's back and I can't seem to turn it off. I have tried turning off everything in the Metronome window, to no avail. Thanks!!! Jim -------------------- Jim Oklahoma City, OK https://SingingDogStudios.com/ https://soundcloud.com/singingdogstudios
