Some of us have a lot of problems with RB and, unfortunately, I am one of those people.

Members of the forum told me to turn off my wifi and see if that helped. It didn't.

Then I saw a post that said to turn off my antivirus. I turned off my wifi and the antivirus. I also set Windows Update to overnight. I haven't had an exception error since.

There are still a lot of other problems, but at least this one is solved.

Thanks to all of you who replied. I hope this helps someone else.

I have used RB for a few years. It has its glitches for sure but for me usually it works great. I have had some issues with but mostly pops and crackles on playback for backing tracks. Also a couple file corrupted. But for tracking and creation it has been pretty stable.

I haven't turned off my anti-virus; however, I have excluded both the RealBand and BIAB folders from the anti-virus software (but if that scares you, don't do it); however, in using PGMusic products for about 20 years now, I have yet to see an infected file. Not saying it couldn't happen, but I also take other precautions (frequent backups and system drive imaging to allow for rapid restore in the event of some catastrophe, whether virus related or hardware failure).

In the song creation side of things is where I find most of the issues. I, like Rob, have used RB since inception. I know my way around the bugs so well I don't remember them and this has become my normal workflow.LOL
As far as playback the only issue is the JUKEBOX. It's real bad.
