Larry,
Thank you for follow up.
Yes, I know BIAB is NOT a DAW smile

This one was just the easiest to test, because the rendered "crap audio" file sounds very similar what I get in BIAB playback with some non World Percussion patches from Sonic.

I have 2019 version of BIAB on my backup computer, I have to transfer Sonic license and test it in the next few days.

Sonic seems to be a popular plugin among users of this forum. Maybe PG staff should request for a couple of "testing" licenses from Steinberg so they can recreate the scenarios with ease?
