I have google this with no result. So let me ask, is it normal for a song to stutter at each tempo change on playback in BIAB?
It will export to a wav just fine but as I'm developing my song in BIAB it is almost impossible to play along with.
Hoping it is just a setting I have wrong?
Thanks
Mike

Mike,
Do you have BIAB 2018?
If so, right-click on the chordsheet, select "Song Settings" and then select "This song has playback problems, disable fast generation".
Now regenerate the song.
Does that help?
Regards,
Noel

Thanks for the quick reply!
Yes latest 2018. I tried your suggestion & it seem to help with the stuttering. Now I just hear a crack when tempos change. At least it doesn't throw my timing off.
Kent - I can do that although with that setting change it is now just a crack. It does it on all songs that I've made a tempo change. I will send one that Charlie Fogle did for me because it has a lot of tempo changes. Thanks for all the help!

Hi Mike,
Thanks for sending the file. I definitely couldn't find anything unusual about this song file, it plays fine here. I thought there might be some bigger tempo changes, but they're all pretty small.
Are you using your computer's built-in soundcard, or an external audio interface?
Which version of Windows are you using, which make and model is your processor, and how much RAM do you have? If you're not sure where to find the info, please let us know.
Cheers
Kent

Thanks Kent and Noel. I'll try to answer the questions in order.
My interface is a Focusrite 2i2 with the latest drivers.
Windows 10 pro 1709 16299.125
I know I'm a few updates behind but just don't want to risk problems with my music machine.
Intel core i7 6700k CPU @ 4.00GHz 4.01 GHz
16 gig memory. No memory is shared for graphics. Card has its own memory.
BIAB version is 2018 (516)
My audio driver is ASIO.
As a side note my DAW is Cubase pro 9. I haven't experienced any problems other than known bugs.
I also used Sweetwater's "how optimize Windows 10" instructions when I first got my computer last fall. Took care of some random audio dropout issues.
I've had this issue with tempo changes in BIAB since I bought it last December. Like I said, changing the setting to disable fast generation has reduced the issue to a click on each tempo change but certainly would be nice to have no artifacts if possible.
I'll repeat that there is nothing noticeable on a export, only playback in BIAB.
Thanks for your time!
Mike

Hi Mike, Here's one more thing you could try: Make sure the Minimum Processor State in Power Options is set to 100%. If your processor speed is being throttled, that could explain why you're having performance issues. This tutorial shows you where to go: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/prevent-drops-cpu-speed-70828.htmlThanks Kent PG Music

Hi Mike,
Sounds good!
If that doesn't do the trick, please give our tech line a call. What you're describing really shouldn't be happening, and I'd really like to figure it out.
Cheers
