ANDREW - many thanks for this suggestion, sorry for the delay - big time difference here in the UK - I have applied the 730 update (replacing the DAW with 2.12.9) and then upgraded back to 734 (NOT replacing the DAW).
This introduces new, different problems though.
EDIT : Although I have successfully managed to render ONE style and copy the WAV files, the DAW Editor will only allow me to select a style and render ONCE - if you attempt to change the style it will crash as per below description. Quitting Cubase, creating a new EMTPY project, adding the BIAB VST and selecting/rendering a style will work again ONCE, but you have to create a new project every time or the following problems occur:-
This is the observed behaviour (which is repeatable) with 2.12.9 after the first successful render ...
Open BIAB DAW Editor again - select a new style, preview a style (works), select LOAD DEMO (for testing), Editor disappears, CUBASE hangs.
Only escape is by Task Manager > END TASK (Cubase shows not responding).
Restart Cubase, reload the project, repeat, same problem with any style I've tried.
THIS IS DIFFERENT in that it doesn't crash out to the desktop and Cubase starts normally next time round without audio problems AND if you start a new project every time you can successfully choose a style and render ONCE only.
I've also tried this via ELEMENT as suggested above, with the similar results.
:-(
Paul.
