Hi all. I'm getting this horrible clipping buzz at the end of every song with real tracks. I've never experienced this in any other version. Anyone else? Any solutions? Thank you in advance!
Can you describe your audio setup and provide a sample of the buzz?

Well I'm not sure how to provide (capture the buzz) but it's done it everytime on every song with real tracks only since 2024 as I stated. I can tell you it's very loud and dimes out the mixer. Also, I'm not able to post a screenshot here which seems weird. I don't know how to post the audio buzz even if I captured it. Maybe because I don't understand the forum either.
I'm using a Focusright Scarlett 212 3rd gen interface. At the moment I have audio settings on WAS instead of ASIO but either way I get the buzz. The buzz appears on the Drum channel and the vibes channel in this case. Also buzz occurs whether I have vsti/dxi checked or not.
And to upload a screenshot hit "Attachment Manager". I usually use .jpg format

I can't figure out how to record it right now sorry. I was hoping it was a problem that others had with 2024 and could just tell. I tried to record it with reaper but cant get reaper to sound so I'm screwed.
Yep, I can definately hear and see it. I've never experienced this.
It is repeatable at the end of any RealTrack? And it happens only with BiaB 2024? Meaning, you can play buzz-free audio from YouTube, Windows Media Player and Reaper?
It could be a 60 Hz hum caused by a cable problem somewhere but that seems unlikely since it happens only with 2024 and you say it only happens at the end of the song. This tells me it's software related. Have you recently installed any other new software? You might try resetting to factory settings and do a full system reboot and virus scan. Are you running BiaB on an external drive?

Can I ask if you found a solution for this please? I have exactly the same problem - have just upgraded to 2024 (Windows) and get the same loud ‘buzz’ generated at the end of every song. I haven’t updated/downloaded anything else and I’ve never had this issue before and the problem can only be something associated with the upgrade - too much of a coincidence to be anything else!
Yes, the problem was resolved happily. Two factors: Make sure you install everything. Secondly, make sure you reboot your system afterwords. There was no prompt to reboot and in my excitement I just dove into the program. I tend not to reboot often. I hate to admit it but that solved the problem. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one and it definitely was specific to this install. Let us know if the reboot works.
Thanks for update. I re-booted after install and, as far as I’m aware, correctly installed all the updates. I’ll double-check the install later in case I’ve missed something.
Nope. Still got the problem, but maybe not do consistently now. I thought it had gone away when I took a look last night, but it started again this morning. I haven’t had a chance to make a proper investigation yet, but, So far as I can see, the noise occurs on the drum track - right after an auto generated 2-bar ending. Don’t know yet if it’s always the drum track and whether it only happens when an auto end is used.
Well, since this is a song showcase forum, it's not going to be the BEST place to get help with a technical issue. I'd recommend opening the Live Chat link at the top of this page. They can walk you through the setup basics and help you with the next steps. Don't give up...it's worth it!
