As you probably know, all of the Style auditions are .wma files, and you might encounter the same problem that I did (running the plugin in Cubase) that I could not hear the Style auditions, as I was getting an error message relating to the Windows Media Player.

It turns out that there is a setting in Cubase (and probably a very similar setting in all DAW’s) which causes the DAW to release the audio driver when the application (Cubase) is “in the background”.

Technically, I guess Cubase is “in the background” when you are interacting with the BIAB plugin.

Once I had changed that setting, it all worked perfectly.

I do have this problem with REASON and found this setting: Play in background
When this is activated, Reason will not “release its grip” on the audio hardware when another application is active.
•
The advantage is that Reason will keep playing while you work in the other application.
•
The disadvantage is that other audio applications may not be able to play any audio, depending on the type of driver used.

But neither setting does the trick
