Well, as you can see, it was impossible for my Scarlett -- or any other interface -- to have caused this problem, because it wasn't in the path.

Regarding the very last sentence to my above comment on 2/8 -- it didn't last. This morning, I went to play a tune that was operating without issues last night, and it's now full of static. So I went through the routine of shutting down all apps besides BiaB and even booted Win Task Mgr, to get rid of any processes I don't need -- there weren't any left. I'd already gotten rid of everything that wasn't necessary.

This particular file has 5 RealTracks and one MIDI track. So I tried another file, also with 5 RealTracks and one MIDI track. Same thing -- lots of noise. Then I tried a file that has five MIDI tracks and one RealTrack -- this one played back fine with only an occasional pop.

At this point, it would appear that BiaB is not happy with playing audio right now.

So, wondering if there might be something clogging up my system memory somehow, I reboot my computer, open up Win Taks Mgr and clear out everything that isn't necessary, and then load back in that first track that was causing all the problems. If anything, it's worse now.

I don't recall if I adjusted the tempo on these tunes, so I had the Melodist generate a fresh tune with RealTracks with unaltered tempo. Didn't make any difference. Still loads of breakup.

And yes, I did check to make sure that my minimum system performance hadn't been set back to 5%. It's still at 100%.

So, finally, as a way of testing the system, I load Cakewalk by Bandlab and then load a project that contains an audio file of the entire project. I play back this file and the playback is totally silent of any glitches. This is really frustrating. I'm gonna call PGM and see what they have to say about this.
