Hi, Just received the upgrade to Audiophile external hard drive and trying to play songs using real drum and instruments. it takes about 2 and a half minutes to load a song and start playing. Is this normal.

That seems slow. In my testing here, I played the _TOBY.STY demo song which has only RealTracks (no MIDI), and it took under half a minute to generate. The second generation took about 21-22 seconds. The song has 32 bars/3 choruses, with 5 tracks: 4 RealTracks and 1 RealDrums. I am using WinXP, 2GHz processor,1GB RAM, with the hard drive connected to a USB 2 port. How about you? I also did a test using a WMA-only version installed on my C: drive and the second generation of the song took about 27 seconds.

You may be connected to a port on your computer that only supports USB 1.1 -- try other USB ports in turn, many computers have only one USB 2 connection, the rest being USB 1.1 for connection of peripherals like keyboards and mice, etc.

Thanks for your relies fellas. You are right about the USB port. I tried another computer and the delay has been reduced to about 25 seconds. Appreciate your help. By the way anothe r small problem that seems to exist on both computers is when I try to mute an instrument by right clicking the mouse I get a drop down box which need to be clicked again to mute the instrument. The previous version 2007 just right clicked the instrument to mute. Any ideas?
Regards

The muting has been changed. That's not a bug, its a feature, but I guess we have to get used to doing something different.
Keyboard shortcuts still work:
MUTING PARTS
Right click on Combo to mute/unmute all parts
ALT 2 Mutes All Instruments
ALT 3 Mutes the Bass
ALT 4 Mutes the Piano
ALT 5 Mutes the Drums
ALT 6 Mutes the Guitar
ALT 7 Mutes the Soloist
ALT 8 Mutes the Strings
ALT 9 Mutes the Melody
ALT 0 Mutes the Thru
SELECTING PARTS
CTRL 3 Selects the Bass
CTRL 4 Selects the Piano
CTRL 5 Selects the Drums
CTRL 6 Selects the Guitar
CTRL 7 Selects the Soloist
CTRL 8 Selects the Strings
CTRL 9 Selects the Melody
CTRL 0 Selects the Thru

Thanks for your advice on the muting problem. I can live with it now that I know that it is not a fault, but I wonder why they instigate this change. Seems the old "right click" was as good as it gets. Anywhere I playing music. Thanks again.

Shift Right-Click mutes the old way, without the pull down. And as mentioned, hotkeys work too.
We made right click into a menu, with various options that apply to the current instrument.
Have Fun!
