Hi rharv,
I Created the BIAB song using the _CBOOGS2 Style. I opened Cakewalk by BandLab and inserted the BIAB vst from the insert Synth menu. I opened the song into the VST version of BIAB and then passed the blue marker into Cakewalk right at the 0 marker.
The 4x tracks that made up the Style fell into their separate tracks in Cakewalk. Because I wasn't suspicious of timing/sync problems, I then started upsetting the neighbours with my singing. Of course, my vocals were following the BIAB song. All sounded
great until I thought to put an EZD drum track in place of the Style drum. That's when I noticed the drift start midway (Bar 37) through the playback and get worse from Bar 68. I did not tamper with anything that would have put tracks out of sync. If I mute the EZD
drum track, I hear no problem with my vocals syncing with the 4x Style tracks because that's what I laid my vocals against.
Having said all that, I doubled checked myself before making my 1st posting of this thread so as not to waste anyone's time. I turned on Cakewalk's metronome on playback and heard the Style tracks go off sync from Bar 37. I muted BIAB and listened to the
metronome against EZD. Perfectly in sync from start to finish. I then soloed the Style drum track against the metronome to be doubly certain. Again I heard the drift.
Bear in mind rharv, that the drift is not EVENLY PROGRESSIVE from start to finish. It is perfectly in sync up to Bar 36, then starts to drift, which is what makes this all quite curious. Nor have I snipped the Style tracks and pushed them backwards or forwards in the timeline. They came straight out of BIAB plug-in to the very start of the timeline.
Maybe I shall upload the images again at a higher resolution to make the issue clearer.
Thanks for your continued input
All the best
Chris
