I finished an album of 8 songs in RB a few months ago. Some all audio, some audio and midi and one all midi. Zero crashes. Zero. For midi I used SampleTank 3. When I picked it up about 18 months ago it simply loaded right up. Zero issues. These songs all have vocals. I created several vocal comp tracks and edited the crap out of them. Zero crashes.

Do you guys who can't seem to get RB to work see a pattern here? I hate to be blunt but somebody can't read proper English. Seriously. The way RB works is described in detail all over the place. The Initialize Accompaniment function is well explained. It was the result of USER REQUESTS. If you're only working with midi you don't need it so we didn't want RB to automatically initialize that on boot up so it doesn't do it until it's needed. This is not a problem it's a FEATURE. Jeese Louise guys. Read, read and read some more.

AND why isn't all the talk about RB in the RB FORUM? There is a dedicated forum for RB ya know.

All the instructions for ST3 for example are on IKM's website along with RB's help files along with a ton of threads from the last few years right here. Doesn't anybody understand Forum Search or Google Search? Both will pull up all the different threads about installing VST's and ST3 in particular.

I swear, I'm just shaking my head here. RB does NOT CRASH, has NO PROBLEM with VST's. Oh yeah, I have Jamstix too, Garritan, several freebie VST's. NO PROBLEM.
