thanks everyone. . .

I appreciate all your comments

this system is custom built for recording and music production. . . I actually am a computer tech
and this has rattled me big time. . . so i can hazard a guess that since Build 829. . .BIAB is no longer
backward compatible with my system

Windows 7 gb
32gb Ram
Intel I5 processor
2 x 2tb HDD
Beringher UM404HD external soundcard or
Beringher UM202HD external Soundcard

The laptop
is running windows 7 pro and BIAB only (nothing else installed)
2tb ssd
16GB Ram
Beringher UM404HD external soundcard or
Beringher UM202HD external Soundcard

A fresh system install both windows and BIAB. . . .
Again I took the build from 829 to 833 and the same thing happened
I installed 835 on both and no fix

So 2 totally different computers played up once I changed the build.
It looks like I may have to re-install both computers back to build 829.
I know architecture changes and the like but you shouldn't need to replace a computer because
of some small glitch. . .

I have been running BIAB since 2000 and never had any problems
I will try different latencies and buffer settings.

I run 44KHZ/ 16 bit all the time anyways

hey chantelle thx for that advice but already been there done that lol

maybe its in the build updates that has changed . . . I dont know but

I love using band in a box and want to keep using it

But if it comes to having to do a hardware upgrade to use it then BIAB is becoming too expensive to use :((

I would welcome any help i can get

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE
