Hi Jim,

I did as you suggested, following your instructions right down the page, but it didn't have any effect on the problem. It might be my imagination, but I think it's getting worse. While I was checking out your settings, I decided to just randomly check some other songs. I had done this at the beginning, but for purposes of comparing apples to apples, I usually loaded the same songs for each of our tests.

Anyway... the song I chose had a totally different feel and style, and when I played it, the count-in didn't sound too bad. But the very first few bars of the song were distorted (the drum track, that is)! First time that's happened! I'm 90% convinced that the problem is with RealDrums, but which part? lol

Haven't heard from PG Music yet, so I don't know if they're working on it or not. I did get an acknowlegement that they received my email... so, just waiting to hear back.

I really appreciate all of you with different ideas and new possibilities to troubleshoot this problem. If I don't hear from PG Music in a week, I'm going to try to re-install the program. Maybe a file got corrupted in the installation process. Wouldn't be the first time that's happened to me.

Thanks again, Jim, and all you other veterans!

Jim

---------------------

Just a quick addition to this post: I tried putting the RealDrums in a different folder, and copied them off the PG Music drive. Made no difference in the distorted count-in, but it did appear to speed up the loading of the song to play.

This was just a thought I had when I saw a reference to putting the RealDrums in a folder other than BB/Drums. My hope was that whatever was causing this problem was a bad file and that I could bypass that file by installing the drums again elsewhere.

So... still no luck.

Another addition to this post. Gets more convoluted each time!

I've found that besides the count-in problem in 64 bit, if I click on the mixer (the tab or the actual window, when opened) or the header at the top of the main screen in EITHER 32 bit or 64 bit, the playback will freeze for a second or two, then resume. This means that you can't load the mixer or do anything that causes the mixer to react, if you want to hear unenteruppted music. I've tried to eliminate all other background apps and went offline at the same time, but it still would stop playing for a moment.

I encountered this while trying to find a workaround for the count-in distortion/slower tempo issue. No matter what I do with the 2019 version of BIAB, it will not work properly. Is there still a 30 day money back guarantee? I'm about to that point.

Jim
