All,
I've just received the Everything pack, and I've installed it on my internal HD.
I've then ran the latest update (build 294).
The questions:
1) Should I run all the previous 2010 update builds, or does the build 294 contains all the fixes ?
2) Shluld I run also all the realtrack updates for the same reason ?
I'm asking this, because I'm experiencing various issue with BiaB 2010:
- with some song the pc performs a complete reboot.
- with some realtrack, when I freeze the tracks and unfreeze again, it happens that the tracks volume are higher as before.
- using the melodist on some realtrack, the real instruments are deleted and subsituted with non-real instruments
- when I choose to render the whole song on an audio file, an ASIO error message is displayed, but the file is correctly generated.
- when I play a song with realtrack instruments, I hear pops and clicks here and there. If I mute all the realtracks but the realdrums, the sound is clear. I've tryed different settings in the ASIO panel, but no joy. Also reverting the audio driver to the mme one, does not help at all. I've also update the ASIO driver to the latest version.
- if I insert a style change at any point in the song, whith all the tracks not frozen, the style will not change when the song reaches that style change. Instead, the previous style continues to be played.
Some suggestion, in particular if I have to run all the previous updates build, would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sergio.

Hi Semar,
I can't answer all your questions, but the build that PGMusic ship their products is up-to-date at the time of shipping. So, if you ordered BIAB 2010 a week ago, Realtracks, Realband, and BIAB will be up-to-date until a week ago. Check out the updates page and look at the date of the update. If it is before the date of your purchase (by more than a couple of days), you should have the latest version.

With PGMusic, the latest update contains all the previous updates, so, no, you don't have to go through all that.

All by itself? from BiaB up and running to a complete REBOOT?
Do you get any error messages at all when this happens?

This is a known bug reported by a few people in another thread. I expect there will be an update fix for it someday.

Melodists that start with an asterisk * will load their own Style files, typically these are MIDI styles. There is a checkbox to avoid loading the style with the chosen Melodist.

It would be good to know what the message says. If it is too fast, try to hit the screenshot key when it is showing. Then paste into a graphics program like Paint.

You may need to defrag the disk that has the realtracks on it, also your C drive. RealTracks assemble and then stream from a Temp folder on C drive.

Could this be one of the above songs created with the asterisked Melodist?

Thanks Noel96 and Mac !
Mac, I'll try all your suggestions. I didn't know that the styles with asterisc would change the instruments.
As for the error message, before the reboot I get a VisualStudio just in time debugger, which ask me if I want to choose a debugger. When I press cancel, or close the message window, the system reboots.
For the ASIO error message, I'll provide a screenshot as soon as I can.
Cheers,
Sergio.

The melodist is not going to work on a Real Track for the melody part because RT's are prerecorded audio files and cannot be used like that. They're great for backing tracks though. A melody part has to be midi unless it's one you recorded yourself as audio like you playing your own guitar, keyboard or whatever.
