I dunno, this is driving me crazy in so many different ways.

I'm recording a song. With the MME audio drivers, all is working well in that end I'm able to send data from the keyboard to the computer without BIAB stuttering and crashing. So, my song is Strangers in Paradise, and it's one big chorus instead of three, and I'm using BOMDIA+ Multistyle A/B is the song's first chorus, C/D is the middle Soloist part and E/F is the last chorus. A/B should be a piano and E/F should be a Coronet. I recorded A/B and stopped and saved the file. I recorded that part on Utility 1. On Utility 2 I went to the bar where that second chorus begins and recorded it using the Coronet patch.

BUT, when I go to play the song back, both Utility 1 and Utility 2 are playing the Coronet patch. Both say 'Instrument 0 <No Patch Change> even though I've clicked on both and selected the patch I wanted, it's playing the Coronet patch.

So, okay, I know that Band In A Box will support a patch change on a channel, and it should be able to recognize the patch change, but it doesn't appear to be. Both instruments were on Channel 1. So, I put the Coronet on channel 2. Now, on Channel 1, I get some sort of a picked bass, and on channel two, I get the piano I want on Channel 1. I put the Coronet back on channel 2 and it worked . . . once, but the channel 1 is still a bass, even though I went in and intentionally changed it to Grand Piano.

I've ordered the hard drive and I'm not sure when it will be here. I'll be moving this weekend and next week, so I'll be a bit out of touch for a for a bit while I get that sorted out. Right now, once I get the program again, I'm going to save my songs and user files/styles and then wipe the entire C:\bb directory and start over again!

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!
