Even if not using the DAW window feature, you may experience this kind of thing when closing one of the two programs and opening the other program too quickly. You may find that you have to give the first program more time to totally release the soundcard drivers and such before starting the other program, which will first start looking to activate them.

Thanks, Mac, That whas a very useful information. I've been testing the program these days with this in mind and crashes are less common now.

Quote:

Regarding the periodic crash, try increasing the latency/buffer size in your ASIO driver's control panel. If that doesn't help, try selecting MME as your audio driver type and see if that fixes it. Also, make sure you haven't unintentionally selected an unfamiliar DX plugin (Check the DirectX window). Does the problem still happen if you only select the VSC-DXi in the DirectX Window, and use MME drivers? Run the program for some time like this to find out.

Regarding the Bass - can you send a sample song that has that problem? Then we should be able to find out what's happening there. I listened to the Bass Samba style for a while but haven't heard what you are talking about yet...



Thanks for the answer, Andrew. I've been testing different configurations founding that the best configuration for my system is using Standard Windows MIDI Output with MME Drivers THROUGH my soundcard. There seems to be any kind of incompatibility problem between my soundcard's ASIO drivers (Edirol UA-4FX) and BIAB. However the crashes are still there from time to time, particulary when saving a song with frozen Realtracks and reopening it. I'll continue experimenting on the next days and I'll try to be more specific.

On the other hand, I've sent the files to beta@pgmusic.com..

In the meanwhile, I've found some other minor problems and inconsistences on my system:

1. In Realband, sometimes generating an entire track with Real Track #443 (Acoustic Jazz Bass) doesn't work.
2. In BIAB Realdrum windows, pressing "Audition" on "CountryShuffle68" loads "CountryShuffle128-080" instead of the correct file.
3. Chord preview (Shift + Enter), Eart Trainning Windows, and Chord Builder Window doesn't work with any other driver than Windows MME.
4. "Swap Melody and Soloist part" function doesn't work with Realtracks.
5. Soloist "Double time" Option doesnt't work with Real Soloist (Since it's an automatic feautre since BIAB 2010 maybe it should be disabled with RTs)
6. Set #55 Jazz-Bebop doesn't support Tempo Swapping feature. This means that if you have a Jazz song at, say 280 BPM, the program will load Jazz Realtracks at 140 BPM at half tempo (wich doesn't work for the song) instead of loading Bebop sets (at 190 BPM) playng the song in a realistic way.

Peace, Cerio
