BYOBand.

my suggestions...

1. when i get the pg shipped drive i immediately back it up onto super fast m.2 storage. about 50 buks includeing enclosure.
(yes the pg shipped drive is fast. but i still use the fastest m.2 i can get to ensure the fastest generation of pg content i can get.
SO...here literally its blink of an eye genning in bb.)
i store the original pg shipped drive away and use the m.2 ive copied to
hooked up over fastest usb port i have to ensure fastest accesses.

2. i always do a minimal install of bb/rb when pg install asks me. reason being that now m.2 is so fast hooked up via fast usb to my pc.
QUESTION ???? at pg install which option did you pick ?
minimal ? or not ??

3. please do the following and report back.
a pic is worth a thousand words. in rb post back a pic of where your pg content ie rt/rd etc etc is installed. to.
NOW CHECK ITS THE SAME IN BB as noel suggested. so if the pg content in bb is installed on drive C or D or K or whatever.
check in rb in prefs the same drive letter as BB.
QUESTION ???? on pg install what drive was pg content installed on ?? C ? D ? another ? i ask cos ive seen some odd weird configs.
here rb has no probs picking up the drive.
IN SUMMARY ENSURE BB AND RB POINT TO THE SAME DRIVE THAT PG CONTENT RESIDES ON.

4. one thing ive meaning to do is post in wishlist a request to pg for a table showing the feature differences tween bb and rb. which i will now do. so please gimme a +1...its sorely needed imho.
as over the years this seems to trip up new people.
eg the midi editing in rb is very advanced and rb will do many other things bb wont.
(note ive just done my yearly sojourn demoing many different daws to compare them to rb. and i still get back to useing rb due to its many unique features...BUT NOTE...to get the best out of rb one MUST be willing to really understand rb's many in depth features. crickey some folks arent willing even willing to read the rb manual and then knock the product.
note in rb are very usefull 'tips of the day'.)
OTOH in bb there is the multipicker which rb doesnt have and there are other features in bb too that are usefull. i like the genning speed in bb tracks view
for example.
as i said i use the advantages of both bb and rb.

please get back re requested drive/install info.
happiness.
