Hi, I'm new here, not sure if I'm in the right page...
Have been using BIAB for a long time, I usually get all the sounds I like and then make .wav separate tracks...Lately When I go to do that, I get the separates but the track are only partial. Sometimes if I shut down and reboot I get the full track, not all the time.
The midi I can produce but the audio.
Any of you experience anything similar? Any idea?
Thank you for any help on this.
Dom

Welcome to the forums Dom.

Could you let us know what version of BiaB you are using and what is the build number shown in brackets? (You can get this info from Help > About)

Do the WAV files all stop at the same length or is this variable (some WAV files are shorter / longer in time)?

Hi,
The BiaB version is a 2011 (313)
All wav file stop at the same point, sometimes I can make a full mix in full lenght.
Regards
Dom

Hi Dom. Is that for Windows or Mac?

Others may be able to help here, but this is a group of users and it’s hard for me to remember what BIAB did that long ago. One thing you could try is to call PG Music Support or Live Chat with them. The info you need is found in the Support tab above.

Too little info and too long ago to help you. But you can try to search the forum for your problem. If it was happening back then, it will be documented there.

Searching the string 'WAV' for the last 11 years? I suspect there will be quite a few results (like 800 or so) cry
But, you never know...

I think that the suggestion of contacting PG Music Support is your best starting place.

No the quiry above is only 2011 - 2012, 1 year. But there were a lot of hits. Like I said we need better key words to do the search well.

Apologies, Dan. I missed the end date. But I agree, we need more info. This cannot be common, or we would have known about such an issue by now.

I wonder does the O/P have running or start any other programs while the WAV file is being generated?

No usually its the only program beeing used...
It did happen occasionally before I added Reaper Portable, but I was able to make it work by shutting down and restarting...Now it won't make the separate wav files

First thing, do Options, Return to Factory Settings. Retest and report back.

When I first used 2011. I would open the BIAB file in Realband. Then I would export all the tracks to wav files. That is about all I can remember from the 2011 version..

Ive done that before, but if I remember correctly, the files directly from BiaB sounded better

It worked, I went back to factory settings
Posted By: Matt Finley Re: Neddd some help - 04/29/22 05:08 PM
Very good. That's always the first thing to do when BIAB does not do what you know it did/should.

In recent years, well after your version I think, this command first prompts you to save your preferences so they can be recalled after doing the return to factory settings. For this and a myriad of other improvements, I recommend you consider upgrading when you can.

Thank you again...Soon I'll be looking at a new PC and then I will upgrade BIAB also
