Thanks you the interest.
I believe I had a complete install with 2019, ie received the hard drive from BiaB and installed that and all the bonus packs on my account onto the seagate. I have also copied all my songs onto that drive as well.
I have left the 2018 BiaB and Realband untouched as there were issues unresolved back in December with the 2019 versions so I thought I would start fresh with a portable drive.

I have not used the midi side even though I have a keyboard so unsure what happens there.
Still unsure why the seagate drive songs slows down periodically.
Thanks
