RealBand repeats your incoming audio and mixes the incoming audio with the computer generated audio.

Band-in-a-Box does not have the capability to repeat incoming audio while it is coming into the program. You record audio in Band-in-a-Box and you can not hear what is recorded until the recording is completed.

The difference in how the two programs handle audio means they also handle Kontakt audio output differently.

Thanks for your reply.
There must be a way for the tech to patch this in BIAB, surely!

I have switched the driver to MME but in this mode the audio momentarily stops, for only a few milliseconds, whenever I click on many sections of BIAB. If I try to adjust the volume on instruments in the mixer, the sound gets interrupted, the same if I click the notation button or click on the chord charts.

Man! BIAB is so frustrating!

Most times, I end up searching for troubleshooting things, rather than practicing. A truly love hate relationship.
