I am actually really happy that so far the generation for styles and MR works. If the audio issues can be ironed out and the add a track fixed. then maybe a tad of stability added. We should be good for now. still like to see development continue

Rob, LOL, glad you still have your sense of humor, but I can understand the frustration. I've followed your threads and mostly understand what is happening with the 2019 update, but I'm a real newcomer to BIAB, and to music for that matter! But learning.

I'm still on the fence, having just purchased the 2018 Pro pack in September. I'd like to ask, if we set aside the VST plugin, and even set aside the 64-bit standalone version...... how is the 32-bit BIAB 2019 doing? I'm fine with jumping in, and getting up to speed with that version, and as the 64-bit bugs get addressed, I'd start using them more. Any comments on 32-bit 2019?

So far the 32 bit is very solid to me as far as I have used it. I just generated a 64 bar song file in Studio one it worked pretty good with the exception of the render time was fairly long

Rob,
4300 posts. You're allowed to rant for sure. I know I have but wouldn't trade these programs for anything.Not to mention the folks at PG are very top shelf in my book.

I with you on that my old friend. I will rant from time to time but I am still a user. I love PG products it is fun stuff. But it is maddening sometimes. one minute it works fantastic the next it is locked up and i'm Ctl/Alt/Del-ing the thang.

When I first updated to 2019 a few weeks ago, I really didn't think I was going to keep it. But it sure didn't take long for PG to push things in the right direction and at a remarkable pace.

I couldn't be happier with PG Audio and am looking forward to future updates and developments
