Tried rendering "One Track Per File" as ".mp3" and ".wma", with no success, on two different computers. It DOES render "just the mix" okay, with "One Track Per File" unchecked.

It goes through the rendering process for each instrument, looking the way it used to (when it used to work), and says "Successful" when finished, but the files are nowhere to be found. Did a search of whole drive.

Also, the folder no longer "pops up" to show the file(s), after the yellow "successful" box appears.

Help would be appreciated... Thanks

Hello Thunderthud,

It may be worth trying to go to Options | Return to Factory Settings | return MOST to factory settings (excludes MIDI Drivers and patch maps). Make sure the checkbox for "preserve location of Realtracks and RealDrums folders" is checked as well. When you do this, a window will pop up giving you the option to save a backup of your preferences so you can easily reload them.

Let us know if that resolves the issue. If not, we'd be happy to troubleshoot further.

Thank you,
Ember

I had the same problem when I tested it trying to render to audio file as individual files.

I expected to find them in the Current Song directory. It went through the motions all the way up to the yellow "successful" box but none were created.

However, the drag-drop method did work and that created individual files to the BB DragDrop directory when I dragged the MASTER to the Drop Square as MP3.

Using WIN 20H2 and BIAB build 838. Since I have used this rendering method before with WIN 20H2, I can attest that it did work before this current build.

Also did a RTF but still did not work when rendering.

I know that the above is the general "GO TO" answer for every issue... But, it's happening on two different computers, and apparently JCLand is having the same issue.

So, I'd appreciate someone there taking this problem seriously. Thank you.

I do understand that, but I was replying to Amber, who I believe is support staff. Thank you.

OK I played around with this and I could not get BIAB to render an audio file to either WMA or MP3 format. I tried all various bit depths, sample rates, channels and qualities and they all failed to produce any files in the directory. BIAB went through the process of rendering on screen and the BIAB log shows a successful rendering with zero results, but no files were produced.

When I switched to a WAV output, it performed flawlessly with all tracks rendered.

I had something similar a while back where only certain tracks were rendered successfully and others were not.

I am not sure if it is related or not but here is that thread.

https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=87776&Number=633268#Post633268

Andrew came up with a workaround on that one but that workaround was unsuccessful in this case.

Follow Up: I did notice that one of the improvements in this build was "Improved: Enabling render setting "Individual tracks flat, dry, and center” will improve rendering time."

I also just found that if I only render the MIX and not individual files, the program produces a mix MP3 that plays just fine.

When I chose individual tracks and NO mix, I get nothing rendered.

Same when I chose individual tracks AND include the mixed track, nothing is rendered.

It points down to a problem rendering individual tracks using this method.

Something has changed internally with this build, just not sure.

For now, I would suggest rendering as WAV files and then convert them to MP3 using a utility program if you need MP3 as the final result. Otherwise use the WAV files as they seem to render just fine with this latest build.

We were able to reproduce this; individual WAV files render, but MP3 and WMA does not render as individual files. We will report this to the development team.
