Don't worry, we love MIDI!

Cubase changes automatically when it notices a change in rates but not all DAW's do and it certainly renders the BB plugin useless unless I revert back to 44 KHz etc.

BIAB only insists on 44.1khz if you're using ASIO. If you switch to WAS or MME it'll run happily at 96khz or 192khz (the highest I can test) as will the plugin. ASIO forces your interface to 44,100Hz as it needs to synchronize your interface and software together, and currently that's the sample rate that BIAB requests. Basically, if you're running Cubase and BB at the same time, set BB to use WAS instead of ASIO.

Actually, there's really no need to use ASIO in BIAB except if you need low latency when you're recording something, and at that point it should be the only program running anyway.

I also have everything that I can set, set to 16-bit at 44.1 KHz. However I have on occasion run into hardware that insists on 24-bit, or 48 KHz. I remember one Roland unit that absolutely would not lock at 44.1 when I tried to connect using S/PDIF.

The request Mal made is not just over a discussion of desired recording quality, where we could get into a long discussion (please don't) of dithering and rate conversion. It also includes compatibility.

That's very true Matt. I have two interfaces here that only work at 48khz, and they're completely unusable in BIAB when using ASIO. WAS and MME work fine with them though. I've put in a request to the developers to have a choice in BIAB to specify the hardware sample rate when using ASIO, so hopefully they'll be able to implement that.

I like your enthusiasm Mike!

do people still have issues? and will 2022 carry forward those issues? be interesting to see smile

Typically the developers release one, sometimes two, updates for the previous year's version after release of the new version - that's not set in stone though, just my observance over the years. After that they're concentrating on developing the next year's version.
