Hi Windy Mac,

Given that you have so much space on E: and F: drives, I encourage you to install the program on one of those. It will run a little faster. The USB drive then becomes a great back up. (The UltraPlusPak is a terrific purchase! You're going to love it once it's up and running.)

Regarding the install, there is nothing you need to uninstall before going for the full install. BIAB does not use Window's registry and only puts a couple of files (like fonts) in the Windows directory. BIAB will certainly guide you through a full install. All you need to do is to specify folders for BIAB and Realband: say something like e:\bb and e:\Realband (these are PG Music's default names). The install will take a little while because there's a great deal of copying to be done. If presented with the option to install Coyote WT (Coyote Wavetable), choose "yes".

A full install might not fix your problem but it will make it a little easier to troubleshoot because any potential USB problems are eliminated.



When you initially setup BIAB ...
  • Go to "Opt | Preferences | Midi Driver" (1).
  • Select Microsoft GS Wavetable synth (2).
  • Activate the check boxes (3).
  • Make sure that Coyote WT is selected as your VST/DXi (4).
  • Set the audio driver as MME.

This is a standard setup and the most likely to work. It's best to check this configuration out before playing around with other software synthesisers and other audio drivers.

Regards,
Noel
