After loading Demos from several new Real-Styles in set#323 which have [Multi] RealDrums, playback skips-time (glitch) almost every bar change during playback on my Laptop. This occurs using both 32 or 64bit programs... but not always on my Studio-Desktop… The skipping stops after substituting non-Multi RealDrums…
for example;_DAWNING , _DOLEFUL , _LUPINE , _MOONDOG , _ORDEAL , _RATTLED , _TRAIL
Anyone else notice this..?

(Edit) btw... no change with Build 609

Multi Realtracks/Realdrums add additional workload to the computer processor. Given that BIAB only partially generates tracks before playback starts, and then continues to generate in the background while playback is happening, it could be that your particular processor is struggling to keep up.

Try this...

Under "Song Settings" (right-click on chord sheet and select the option from the pop-up menu), activate "This song has playback problems, disable fast generation".

Selecting this option forces BIAB to fully generate all tracks before playback commences. (Note: It will take a little longer for playback to begin with this setting active.)

Does this help?

Regards,
Noel

Thanks Noel, but that did not make any difference, other than a much longer song generation time... I tried it with the _DAWNING demo in the 32 & 64 bit versions... The audible glitches & timing skips are still there, unless I substitute a non-Multi RealDrum.

Open the song in BIAB and save someplace. Then Load that same song into RealBand and see if it skips.

bloc-head,

I tried _DAWNING.MGU and there is some kind static present in the playback. It only happens on my computer every few bars.

I will report it to the developers.

Regards,
Noel

Ya, that audio glitch is pretty obvious. So as best I understand you are having trouble with one specific Real Drum Set: FunkyGroove60s-5 and Tamb. I assume this is a 2019 set since I don't have it. Is it the only "multi drums" which is doing this?

Thanks for the video. Those are the same glitches that I'm getting.

I passed on this thread's link to the developers so they too will hear and see what's happening.

All the best for Christmas and beyond,
Noel

I just did the same thing and it plays perfectly on both 32 and 64 bit BIAB and RealBand.
I have a Lenovo Ideapad 64bit AMD A9 processor with 8 G Ram

Thanks Peter... Interestingly, after loading the same demo into the BB VST plugin; generating the tracks; and dragging them onto SONAR tracks, they all played correctly... Merry Christmas.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
