In order to find out the cause of the burst, I reinstalled the operating system, reinstalled all drivers, and even found a new computer. As a result, as long as band in a box plugin was loaded, there was a burst noise.

My computer is very new. The buffer is set at 64 , 128 and there will be no popping noise
My other VSTS, such as ujam, nexus, avenger, Kontakt, ezkey and ezbass, will not have noise. Even if my buffer is set at 32, there will be no noise.
However, when I set it to 1024, as long as band in a box plugin is loaded, noise will also appear.
But I still think it's my problem, not band in a box plugin.
So I left messages to consult other users under Facebook and Youtube Related videos, and the answers I got were noisy.
Finally, I came here and got the answer with noise.
When all this information comes to you, and your reply is just “not just BIAB.”

I don't think it's appropriate.
Please note that setting 1024 is only mitigation, not solution. As long as band in a box VST is loaded, there will be explosive noise during operation. As long as the band in a box VST track is deleted, there will be no explosion and noise immediately.
Don't you realize the seriousness of this matter?
Even a small music software company just established will not have such a design bug
And you've been for decades!
I think you should pay attention to it.
Hope to upgrade as soon as possible.
This is not an excessive requirement. It is the most basic that a product can be used normally.
My computer is configured with 8-core CPU, 32g memory and focusrite sound card
In my impression, the last time I heard a pop when I played computer music, it should have been 20 years ago
I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in 2021
I can't believe it grin




The popping you're hearing is nothing to do with your computer, performance, buffer, or anything else of that sort. I tried that same style on my computer and found that it popped as well. The problem is coming from the time-stretching plugin that Band-in-a-Box uses to change pitch and tempo - that particular drum loop is 90bpm, while the style you're using is playing it at 100bpm. The click is happening right at the beginning of the loop, and repeats every 2 bars as it's a 2-bar loop.

If you change the tempo to 90bpm you'll find that the popping stops. I will report the issue to the development team to see what they can do - the time-stretching comes from the Elastique plugin, which we did not create.

This is coming from a completely different place than what swingbabymix is experiencing. Please set Reaper to use 44.1khz and see if it still crackles.

What he said. I'm running this on a decade-old not high-end computer and I have zero issues with the plugin in any DAW (of which I have many of them). Pipeline's issue must be specific to his computer, software, or audio hardware as this is not an issue I've ever seen or experienced.
