J Larry, here's a suggestion: although Peter says the CPU speed is critical to regenerate songs, and I agree, I have also found the process works somewhat faster if I am loading the song from an SSD. Maybe I'm imagining that, because the songs are loaded into RAM and presumably stay there unless you change them. But I think if I were using BIAB live and regenerating, I would put a SSD in my PC. When I did that with my laptop, it was like having a new machine, only better!

On my desktop, when I am composing a song and doing a ton of regenerating as I make changes, I first copy the song onto one of my SSD drives. It helps. Then, when done, it gets archived with the others onto a regular hard drive.
