The Clear Renders is supposed to delete the rendered files in the BBPlugin\SavedTracks folders. When the app creates to tracks it stores them in this location in folders. Once you drag them into your tracks in your DAW and save them inside of your DAW it is safe to delete them. This folder can build up with a lot of files if you keep rendering tracks and more songs.
By the way, in Studio One if you cannot listen to the tracks in the app, you might need to go to the options menu and under audio tab make sure release audio in the background is selected.
The other button called keep BBW open I have not messed with that one.

So me. Brian, first off thanks for the tip my audio is working now in S1 4your a Studio One 4 user. I own Studio One 2.65 and have S1 4 as a demo. I also have Cakewalk by Bandlab downloaded. I am deciding whether to buy Version 4 or try bandlab which is sort of free. I prefer studio one, but could save $150. What is your thought on Version 4 upgrade.
I will say Bandlab is not working as well as studio one for me with the plugin.

I will say Bandlab is not working as well as studio one for me with the plugin. Rob I started with Cakewalk back in the 90's and Midi sequencer stuff before that. I had the lifetime Sonar X3 upgrade and I really did like Sonar. I also own Reaper and others. I bought Studio One Pro 2 and I really fell in love with it. Studio One Pro 4 is very powerful and very simple to use. Most of the stuff is Drag and Drop. The Chord track is way cool and powerful and fast. The Arranger track makes rearranging a song a breeze. Also Presonus and Celemony are the developers of ARA which is now included in Sonar, Reaper, and others. All I can say really is download the Demo and try it out. DAW's are a personal thing really and it all depends on your workflow and of course your budget. Bandlab is free and it is a great program. I used it for many years.

....what does "keep bbw open" mean? I would think it would close bbw4.exe that runs in the background generating up the tracks.

The option in the plugin preferences to "Keep BBW Open" is used to keep bbw4.exe running the entire time that the plugin is being used. By default, this setting is turned off which means that each time a user opens a BBW Picker (ie: Style picker, RT picker, etc.) bbw4.exe is closed and then reopened. This mainly helps with ensuring that the picker window is on top of all other windows but if a user finds that it takes a long time and the boot up times are not optimal then it can be improved by turning on this setting. This option however does not effect actual render times in the plugin.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
