TY, Noel96 ... but, no.

This is happening with no other programs running. Even if it were, Cubase has an audio setting to release the ASIO drivers when it is not the active window.

Someone else here stated flat out ... since I'm a new user, I'm blocking on their name ... that the Echo Audio Indigo ASIO drivers simply didn't work with BIAB. They recommended ASIO4All, which I've used before, and that didn't work. I also have the 'Multimedia' and 'Full Duplex' ASIO drivers. Some would work once or twice, and then fail. This is on my dual core laptop. I've had the same problem on my desktop DAW with RME ASIO drivers.

But, as I said, since I'm not trying to record ... just use it as a midi sketch pad, the MME drivers are OK with BIAB.

I've also found myself less than thrilled with the DAW plug-in window ... the primary reason I upgraded to 2010 after a long run with v11. Since I can't get the ASIO drivers to work, I cannot run Cubase with it anyway. Also, even though I can 'drag n' drop' a midi file from the desktop or a folder to Cubase; I can 'drag n' drop' a BIAB part to a folder or desktop as a midi file; I can't 'drag n' drop' a BIAB part from the DAW Plugin window to Cubase!

BIAB is 75% brilliant, 15% quirky and 10% a royal PITA.

They should hire away someone from Steinberg/ Yamaha who really knows their Audio stuff, ASIO and VST, and redo the code and add a full fledged multitrack sequencing page that could still utilize BIAB's compositional functions. They'd immediately have a huge market from existing DAW owners and then gradually could build on their sequencing developments to turn our 'One DAW to Rule Them All.'

Yeah, I know they've got, what is it Pro Tracks, but after all the flakiness of BIAB what serious DAW user ... read Logic, Pro Tools, Sonar, Cubase, etc. ... is going to want to walk away from their platform and their investment in time, money, learning and experience for a product from a company that can't even get their flagship to run properly?
