Macs cue jerky playback6/5/2023 That can cause fragmentation of ONLY the newly installed Realtracks and other program files.Īnother issue - I don't take Windows' Defrag report as having anything at all to do with large audio files like the Realtracks. The disk could be new, as yours is, or it could be just a problem with the download of those large files, which are first always stored once in a Temp directory, then when saved are moved to a permanent directory, then when installed are decompressed to an even larger filesize first and then placed in yet another directory. Have used that machine both for testing and getting work done for quite a few years and at times have gotten the very same problem - skipping or even missing audio due to bad loading of Realtracks. Your machine specs are very close to the specs of one of the machines I used for the beta testing his year. It very easily could be in need of defrag on the C drive after downloading and then installing all the new large files. Hi Mac - the drive is a new one - in a previous thread I mentioned that I had lost the old one and was having problems re-installing BiaB (which you all sorted for me) - so its not that. Windows XP Pro 32 bit, AMD Sempron 3200+ Ghz,500g HDĬakewalk Guitar Pro2 (oldie but Goodie - now you know why I'm stuck with XP) You may laugh (but not where I can hear you!!) I'll sign off with my kit listed like Jazzmammal does. But, if I see one I like I'm sure I can rely on the Forum here to tell me if I'm looking at the wrong end of the horse - lol !! Retired - money is always going to be an issue. Hi Jazzmammal Bob - I shall have to have a look around at what I can afford. Thank you too for the tips on how I can "workaround" the problem in the short term. I had no problems running BiaB2008 but with all these lovely whistles, bells and Real "everything" in BiaB2013 I think it is running out of Puff. Hi Peter - well that is the RIGHT answer and THE PROBLEM!! I ran Geekbench and came up with the magnificent score of 1349. Hi Flatpicker Bob - I guess the PC IS now older now than my Band In A Box - lol !!! Hi Mac - the drive is a new one - in a previous thread I mentioned that I had lost the old one and was having problems re-installing BiaB (which you all sorted for me) - so its not that. I guess you hit the nail right on the head. Freezing the arrangement would speed up the generation time. The song will now take a long time to generate before play is pressed (10-30 seconds), but playback will likely be glitch free. If you have a song with lots of RealTracks that is causing problems, press the Song Settings button, and select "This song has playback problems, disable fast generation". If its an old, slow PC, there are things you can do. My PC is 3,500 and runs real well with BiaB. Really fast new machines are around 8,000 speed. Minimum would be geekbench= 1,100, although in the 1,100 to 1,500 range things will work slower, and you could get hiccups with certain songs, other programs running etc. You should run Geekbench to get an overall score of your system speed. There are many factors affecting audio performance, but if its a real slow PC, it would be a good place to start.ĬPU requirements for BiaB have been the same for the last 3 years or so. <<< Could it be that my PC processor is not longer man enough for the job or RAM (I have 1gb ram - its an old machine)needs boosting? << I am now running with BiaB 2013 and am stunned at the leap forward from my BiaB2008.
