LB...some points.

1..i notice from your pc task bar you have the internet enabled ??
please confirm.
tell me with bb 2025 if no stutters occur when the net is disabled.
NOTE...read my tips in the forum re why i sandbox my music pc from
the net. i use a seperate pc for the net because ive seen over the years internet activities can interfere with music creation apps.

2..re rb load time. here realband loads in just a few secs.
so i suspect your pc needs optimising and cleaning up.
please also post back how long this pc takes to boot from cold.
ie you turn on power..how long for desktop to appear ? here just a few secs.
the fact that rb has probs with one file and not another indicates to me...that...possibly there is some prob with that file.

3..in realband ACTION>>TEST AUDIO PERFORMANCE tell me how many tracks are reported.
its just another piece of info re your pc.
over 200 is very good.

4..please also run the following utility which will assess the suitability of your pc
for music production and give clues from the report re drivers etc.
lets be thorough. ideally one needs to use a pc with internal low microsound
latency. my own music production pc has ultra low microsecond latency.

5..i notice in your task bar lots of icons.
here i have only 2 ie..bb and rb. heres why.
over the years ive seen a common problem on users pc's being used for music production is they are running a ton of apps.
ie everything but the kitchen sink...lol.
in summary if you have loads of other non music apps on this pc..
eg net and home finances and everything under the sun this can lead to
probs. its best to run household non music apps on a seperate pc.
another pc like a refurbished one can be had for under 200 dollars.
i have one here for running household apps.

finally as someone mentioned upthread bb 2025 likely needs more pc resources resources than 2020.
so given all the other things going on your pc this might create a tipping point
re resources and thus stuttering occuring.
its difficult to say without being there.

anyhoo please post back what latency monitor says re this pc and also rb reported track counts.
please note over the years of useing a pc lots of junk builds up.
and like a house a major cleanup is often needed.

ps this song file that is problematic (NICAS DREAM ??) could you post it somewhere so other users can look at it on their own pc's running bb and rb ??
