You need to post a pic of the Tracks view or Audio Edit view of the Loop track to see if you have the waveform.

After I entered the track, sometimes it generated, sometimes it didn't. It's weird.
It's not stable.

Just like in the screenshot. LOOP1 is successful, LOOP2 is never created. I don't know what went wrong.

Also, can LOOP be generated separately? I hit Generate All every time.

The strangest thing is that he may generate it later. Everything depends on luck.
So, is this actually a bug in Biab, or is it a personal operational issue for me?

SwingBabyMix,

You may want to make sure you are using the exact same steps every time. I find sometimes I get in a hurry and will change how I perform a task and not even be aware of the change.

There are still issues with Biab, sometimes it won't generate the RealTrack either and sometimes it's impossible to delete the track, I try Erase, delete or cut and it just stays there same with Undo but then all of a sudden it's gone. Maybe it's not refreshing or updating things ?

So, you're having the same problem?

Yes I have issues.
They should get around to fixing them, maybe they are working on the Mac version now and have not put time into fixing current Win version ???

Then some problems appeared in the MAC version, and were they repaired?

I can only use the WINDOWS version, and I hope it will be fixed as soon as possible.
In fact, I am looking forward to having a big respawn button next to each track in the mixer or track, so that I can generate it myself.

Please write down the exact steps.
Loops work for me, but my loop list looks completely different than yours.
Are you using your own private loop list library?


Studio One (latest version), Win 11 23H2 , i9 -10940X 3.3 GHz, 32GB Mem, a 4K 40" monitor, PreSonus Studio Live III Console as interface/controller. secondarily test on Reaper, Cakewalk, and S1 on Surface Pro 3 Win 10 (latest versions).

Let me try to help you.

Bug: Loops that are brought in externally to BIAB 2024 will not loop on track.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Import a user directory of loops.
2) Select one of those user loops to use on a track
3) Hit regenerate

Expected results:
The loop plays indefinitely on the track.

Actual behavior:
The loop does not play or even load.

Can someone with user loops please CONFIRM this?

Thanks

OK

Other friends mentioned above that they also have this problem. You haven't had this problem?

Can you record a video and show it to me? Is it normal?

You mean your LOOP is normal, is it the 2024 version?
Can you take a video and let me see it?

What does this have to do with folders?

1: I used to be able to use it normally in 2023.
2: Even if I use the official LOOP, there will still be problems.

Try copy them into the root folder and see if they work, if so it maybe a path issue.
EDIT: also try renaming to simple name loop01.wav loop02.wav

I don't think it has anything to do with this. The reason is that's how I've always written.
BIAB's official LOOP may also have problems. Do I still have to modify all official BIAB folders?
This is a video I took. I used the official LOOP.
I don’t necessarily know when my LOOP will appear, but I don’t know when it will be generated.
It all depends on luck.
