Lately I have worked a lot with Christmas Karaoke Production.. Using Biab + Karafun + Format Factory Mux have made it an easy task. UNTIL I started to use Kontakt and some new Library I purchased from Chris Hein. The sound is excellent and I have been happy most of the time with just using one instrument at a time. BUT, when I started to extend it to it's fully potential, BiaB just seems to be a rotten old application, that cannot handle anything of what I want to do. And the help and support for my posting about it from PG- Music has been minimal, despite my post is still marked with (Not yet solved), it seems to me that PG Music does not give a [*****] about it...
Some forum member have been to a lot of help for me in the matters, but is it so, that we have to rely on other forum members to get support???? Should not staff from PG-Music be there to try to help???? Don't tell me I have to write an E-mail to the support team. Are they not seeing the post here?
I wrote an list of what happens when I do this and this in my last post. Nothing that make any sense to me. I found a work around that worked until now. Setting the soloist track to send in channel 11. But today, that also stopped working... And I encounter all kin of strange behavior all the time in Biab. Channels leaking all over... Take in sound from other channels. Take in volume control from other channels a.s.o.
But why will I balder to write a step for step list, showing what happen, when I wrote it already, adn there is no respond from PG-Music on that one, strange as it is????
No, in the best of my understanding, it should not be like this... I am start looking for other option for my karaoke work. And the library I bought from Chris Hein, sound so good that I dont need any more Real tracks. That cannot play the melody anyway...
Even copying a track from the Melody track to the Soloist track oes not work for importing midifiles. It says successfully copied, but both track is empty. So I have to click undo, and export the melodist track as midi, then import it to the soloist track.. WTF???
And when I import a older MGU file that has a RT on the soloist track, and I try to erase it, it just refuse to be erased...
Yeah, I could write a long list about what is going wrong, but why balder? PG- Music seems not to be around anyway. And again; I refuse the idea that I have to write an private email and explain the problems. For who else in this forum can learn from it then???? I have to post my mail AND the answer from PG Music here, so others also can learn from it? B.S.....
And BTW, posting suggesting in the suggestion forum? LMAO.. Almost no respons anyway, from PG- Music. Is it good? Will it be considered implemented? Who knows??? It's like throwing a bottle mail in the ocean and hoping someone a sunny day will pick it up...;)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have been drinking a few beer, and my shyness to express my frustration is gone.... Sorry if someone find it offending...;)
But I still believe in miracles though...;) I share many of your frustrations. I am also starting to depend on other tools. If they don't make major improvements this time I may be done upgrading. And adding quirky, partially implemented features like Video RealTracks do not qualify as "major improvements" to me!
