Alright, I downloaded and ran CCleaner Pro Trial. No difference. I changed out all three audio drivers. No difference.

What I DID notice was this. At the very top of the BIAB window, you'll notice the line that shows you that BIAB is generating the back tracks. Usually playback doesn't start until after that is complete. However, in my case, we have the situation where playback starts up while that is still generating and every time to stops or starts to stutter, that generation process is still running, or has started again.

When I press play, it starts to generate the tracks, and it takes a long time, but then you'll hear the song to start, but it stutters like crazy, and you can watch the track generation continue on. Finally, it will settle down, run for maybe two bars, and then the track generation messages come back. It'll stop generating, and then play for another two bars and the track generation comes back again.

I thought that it might have been related to RealDrums and RealTracks, but the same thing is occurring with a file that is all MIDI generated data. You would think that even with just MIDI data, it would not do this, it should be an easy lift. The song I'm using currently as my test bed is only 3:30 minutes long, and whether I use a completely MIDI based file or one with a combination of MIDI and RealDrums or all RealTracks, it does the same thing.

Mario, I've shut down extra stuff, but I don't think that's what it is, since there isn't any difference. I wish it would have been. It's somewhere in the way that BIAB is actually generating the tracks, either MIDI based or RealDrums/RealTracks.

If I used the DAW plug in inside of Cakewalk, all of the tracks generate correctly and I can drag and drop them to the tracks and there is no problem, inside the DAW. But, I don't/can't use that as I'm trying to test out certain styles and I need to be able to do that in BIAB. I don't want to use the laptop for this, although the way things are going, I'm going to have to.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
