BB user.

please take my comments as trying to help.
ie they are meant in a friendly way.
and i know we all occasionally get fed up with gear.

1..i used to get the occasional bb crash but i havent had one for rather a long time.
2..from a programming technical codeing level
one cant just say the other apps work.
i'm sure they do but bb is a very different animal imho.
its an auto accompany program and thus with different codeing routines of course.
ive often wondered why there are no competitors for bb...and i suspect its because what bb does at the codeing level is rather complex compared
to music apps that dont do auto accompany.
in summary if auto accompany was easy at the technical level we would have seen many more
bb competitors in its market space.
(btw i was a lousy programmer so i moved into management...lol.)
3..how do you install bb ? some people ive seen seem to have rather complex rig set ups.
i use a simple approach by hanging the bb shipped drive off a fast usb port and do a minimal install.
4..what is your pc config ?? processor/ram/drives etc. note pc's with high dpc internal latency can be sometimes problematic.

finally has your pc been optimised for music production ? the reason i ask is even tho one can run bb on a low spec pc i suspect bb internally is rather complex.
for example here if i run bb on an older pc with a low spec processor performance isnt optimal.
whereas (and its just a middle range ryzen cpu)
on my production pc win boots up in a few secs
as do reaps and bb and realband.

just out of interest is your production pc on the net ?
this can be a problem sometimes.
(i use a seperate el cheapo pc for the net and get no probs.)

i would be very curious how long your pc takes to boot into win from cold and once booted up how long bb takes to load.
also in rb action >> test audio performance ow many tracks capability does rb report ?
here with 2025 rb i get over 300 reported.

finally in reaps at top right what asio latency is reported ? here i get 4 to 5 millisecs ie good low latency.
ps ive tried various stem splitters but the one i'm useing in rb i'm finding i prefer for some reason i cant explain.

hope this helps somehow.
if not i tried lol.

happy new year.
