Q: BIAB 623 x64; is a loading time of about 11 seconds normal? As BIAB 2018 v520 starts in about 2. F

Fiddler, is this the first bootup in a day's session or second (or more) boot up?

When I first booted up BIAB64 today, it was 17 seconds because Realtracks and Realdrums needed rebuilding (my yesterday's session used the Audiophile drive for RTs and RDs). I then closed BIAB and restarted it. This time, my bootup time for BIAB 64 was pretty much the same as it was with BIAB 2018 at 1.5 seconds.

This is each time i load the same song, just BIAB (x64) 2019 and 2018 loading the same MGU. As such so not the first time and still in need of generating ..... the only plugin used is Halion Sonic SE (2018 also loads it automatically thanks jBridge)

Try Build 625, out today. One feature is faster boot times.

Thanks, PG must have worked hard at this one; quite a lot of RT fixes too .... alas not Paul Franklin's pedal steel yet ... i'll burn me a candle somewhere.

You said in another thread that 625 is still slow. If you have a real-time malware checker running, try excluding /bb from it. See if that helps.

Hi,



It is unclear if you are talking about the program bootup time or song generation time. Here it sounds like you are talking about song generation. If you are talking about program bootup, that should be a little bit faster with the latest build of Band-in-a-Box 2019.

If you are talking about song generation time and comparing the same song, it should be roughly the same *provided* you have all the same settings. One setting to check is RealTracks - Preferences - 'speed up generation'. Perhaps you have unchecked that.

No, it's the boot up time, and the same quite complex song file MGU, is what BIAB loads 'automatically'. BTW I have bypassed the the the BIAB folders (marked them as trusted) in my virus scanner BTW.

I'll did some bare bone SGU boot tests just now, just a C chord, and saved the empty SGU (ZZ jazzwalz.sty) created in each of 'em, and restarted both BIAB versions. Biab 2018 520 just over 2 seconds, BIAB 625 x64 about 10 seconds ... Speedup generation is on, but in this one no realtrack except the drums.

I'm getting about 4000 ms (4 seconds) in the Help, Utilities, Display Log Text. In fact, it takes several seconds longer to load the text file than to load BIAB.

Note that this is the second or subsequent time in a session loading BIAB. The first time takes around 11 seconds.

Well, guess i'll have to live with it .... at least 625 seems quite stable.
