As Andrew said ask a legitimate question. I have used the program for almost 2 decades and have been recording on hard disk for better than 25 years. BiaB is not perfect but if you put in the effort to learn it and to always get help when stumped it works well. I have completed many projects. The user showcase forum there are thousands of songs created in at least in part if not completely in BiaB. There are professionals in recording, teaching, Live music that use this every day. Some use it to create for live orchestras and bands. They did not get to that point by throwing up their hands and slamming the program. They rolled up their sleeves and got to work. You can find fault in every piece of software out there. Not one is perfect, and all have bugs. I have found bugs in this program, but i will say most of the time i did not dig deep enough to find the answer. Most often it was pilot error. Many times, a simple detailed question and other users gave some good advice or help.
After reading your post again i am beginning to see the issue, you simple don't have the patience to do this stuff. Everything is someone else's fault! Windows is a pig's house, really! come on i have both Windows and Mac BiaB both run flawlessly I have been running on both platforms for 4 years and windows since 2003 from window xt to 11 they have always run flawlessly. You said may work for others but not you! Hhmm well you might be on to something. Maybe the issue is you or your equipment. It speaks to the common denominator theory. Look you may be a smart guy, but this stuff is not easy to master. it takes hard work. I would suggest dialing it back a notch and maybe some of us might be willing to help. Remember you have to meet folks halfway.
I am sure you can come along after me and pick my words to pieces and try to prove your point, but it would make more sense to use that time to type a well detailed post about exactly what you need to know or what is not working to make sure you get better results. Or you can complain and whine some more and accomplish nothing. Your choice! Without giving details and allowing knowledgeable people to help it just seems like you do not know what you are doing. Yeah, at this point you try to tell me how much you know and i don't get it, but believe me this in not my first rodeo, and i know when people have issues with the very basic of problems like a download or a simple task, one of two things is at play. Either they don't know what they are doing and are embarrassed to say so or they are not willing to put any effort into it.
