Hi Ron,
BIAB can indeed sound pretty spectacular too. From what you have written, it sounds like you might have: (a) loaded a full MIDI style; (b) not engaged VSC/DXi.

First thing I'd try is to load in a Realstyle. To do this...
  • On the far left of the screen beside the song title, click Style.
  • The style selector dialogue box with appear. In the Category column on left, click on either Realstyles or Styles with Realtracks.
  • Now, under the middle column called Styles, select one of the many styles with a single-click of the mouse.
  • Above the Style column, there is a button called Load Song Demo. Click that.
  • Click OK to exit back into BIAB's chord view screen.
  • Click your mouse on the green arrow labeled Play. Depending on your system, it may take 20 seconds or so to generate the Realtracks before the music starts playing.

From what you say about the "tinniness" of the sound, it suggests that MIDI is running through the soundcard's synthesizer. Employing a software sythesizer will enhance this greatly. To do this...
  • Select Opt. on the top menu bar.
  • From the drop down list, select MIDI/Audio Driver Setup.
  • Over on the right hand side of the pop-menu, put a checkmark beside Use VST/DXi Synth. NOTE: If you run a 64-bit operating system, you will not be able to activate the VSC/DXi until you get a software syntheziser (usually called "soft synth") like Coyote Forte ($59 from PGMusic). This is because the soft synth that ships with BIAB only operates in a 32-bit software environment.

Regards,
Noel
