but what do I need to make a note of in BIAB? Will this change everything I have set
in Preferences and other places? Does a Reset change just the song or the BIAB internal OS?



It just resets global Band-in-a-Box settings to their defaults. Take note of your MIDI and audio driver setup. Also, things like chordsheet display etc. It doesn't change your songs. You can save your current settings, and then revert to them later if you want. There are a couple of ways to do this. One way is to use the menu option 'Opt. | Save Preferences As...' If you want to return to those settings at a later date (such as if returning to factory settings doesn't solve the problem), then you can re-open your preferences with 'Opt. | Open Preferences...'

The second (more thorough) way is to save a backup of all the settings files manually. To do this, close Band-in-a-Box and open the bb folder. Sort the files by date modified, and you'll see all the settings files near the top (because they'll be the most recently modified files - like 'intrface.bbw' and 'mysetup.dk'. You can copy all of these files to a different location on your hard drive to save a complete backup of your current settings. You could then delete those files from the bb folder to return to factory settings. To revert to previous settings, just make sure the program is closed, then copy your backed-up files back into the bb folder.

...heres the run down on what happened on three new songs.



Thanks for the info. I tried unsuccessfully to recreate the problems based on what you said there. Can you send those files (or other ones with a problem) to support@pgmusic.com? That would be best...

Also, please include information about what your MIDI output driver is, if you are using a DXi synth, and whether you are using ASIO or MME audio drivers.
