Since I installed BIAB on my new computer I am noticing a strange hissing/static sound that only occurs randomly and on random bars and seems to only occur at the start of a bar!
I assumed it was because I had not yet activated my BIAB...some sort of copy protection...but it is still occurring after I activated.
It does not occur on every song and I have not yet noticed any patterns to report. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

I very much doubt that it has anything to do with registration.
More information please? Driver: ASIO / MME?
RealTracks or MIDI or both?
Once it occurs, is it repeatable at only specific bars?

I remember you had some heavy nose breathing in one of the RT's I had to take out.

etc As a programmer who has implemented various copy protection schemes, to me this seemed very much like a copy protection scheme like those used in trial products. Sometimes they drop out sound on playback, sometimes insert a watermark and sometimes add noise. But, as I said, it did not stop after activation. And this has NEVER occurred on my previous computer running BIAB since 2012. It occurs in ASIO and MME. I have only noticed it so far in RealTracks and maybe only on already existing songs (but not sure about that). Once it occurs it will occur again on the next play (or generate) but usually at a different bar.

Try different speakers, as sometimes they can cause a hissing sound, or electrical interference in background.

Can you 'see' this on the track(s) audio edit window?
In other words, is it something that gets written to the file, or a playback issue?
Make your sound your own!

Musiclover Nope. Not speakers as they work fine on my other computer and it is so random and always occurs on a bar.

Hi lk123, A strange hissing sound on random bars is often caused by an unregistered VST/DXi plugin. For example: if a Realtrack that loads Amplitube is present in the mix of instruments, and Amplitube has not been registered with IK Multimedia, then once the trial period for Amplitube's use is over, hissing will occur as a reminder to register the software. (Even though Amplitube is freeware, it still needs to be registered.) With the above in mind, next time the hissing occurs, can you please grab a screen shot of your BIAB desktop and post it in this thread so we can see what instruments are loaded. To post an image, have a look at the link below. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=472139#Post472139Regards, Noel

I bought several quite expensive VST things from IK in the past, and got really fed up with their copy protection and registering schemes; it usually f***s up after a while, so i never use them anymore. I got a 'reworked' old version of amplitube from someone once: no problems with that and no registering needed. Hackers seem to be running off laughing as always.

I just started getting an annoying hissing sound on my playback on real tracks. It's random and pops up at different intervals. What is causing it and how can I get rid of it? I couldn't call tech support today because they were closed and the online chat person couldn't help me either.

Hi Bernman, If you scroll up a couple of posts you'll see my previous post. Strange hissing sounds are usually to do with plug-ins that have passed their free trial update. It's an annoyance that software companies often add to their programs to remind people to purchase them. BIAB comes with a free version of Amplitube. As mentioned in my post above, even though it's free, it still needs to be registered. That might be the issue. Regards, Noel
