hello

done factory reset running 609 build latest bb daw.......opened as admin and all that stuff.

run bb daw stand alone version from bb plugins folder
click select to open stylepicker window
click a style(ive tried numerous styles) click load demo
bb daw then opens the demo as it should
click generate ,the daw then starts to generate the song tracks.
it generates all the tracks and i then get the arrow at the side of the tracks to denote generation complete but within a split second the last track comes up in the yellow box to say it is still generating also the generating box at the top of page is still showing it is generating.
if i use the scroll bar on the daw for up and down, in the down position it shows just the last track with no arrow meaning it is still generating but in the up position it shows all the tracks have generated by way of the arrows.
the tracks all show in the saved file folder but the last track always starts to regenerate and the progress bar locks at about three quarter way to end and if i try to do anything with the tracks or add anymore tracks i get the big crash.
this also happens in
mixcraft 8 pro
cakewalk bandlab
and a new daw i am trying called tracktion7 t7

i have read in another thread that the multiriff business stuff is going to be sorted on monday but thats not my issue.

any tips advice please.

This happened to me in Multitrackstudios, and once each in both Bandlab and Reaper. Most of the timeout works fine. I noticed your song file is 33 bars and 3 choruses that in effect is 99 bars to generate. When I do that it takes forever then always fails. Change to 1 chorus and I bet it generates then try 2 and see.

Inthing it is a bug that causes a crash when files are long

hello Robh

thanks for input but i already tried that, ive messing with all different options since the 609 build.
before 609 i could actually open a style(including 3 choruses) and it worked but i couldnt add any more tracks through the select track option.
ive tried to go back to a previous build but it all ggot crazy so i just reinstalled to the latest build 64 bit.

a couple more images ..1st one shows the scroll bar at top with the window indicating all tracks generated but the yellow box is showing its still rendering(this box never dissappears until i close down..its always the last track..
my bb plugin saved files folder shows the generated/rendered files complete including the one it says is still rendering.

2nd image shows all the same but with the scroll bar on bb daw at bottom and showing the last track with no arrow to indicate not complete.
if i try to do anything further the programs freeze and i have to restart.

Paul Paul, I am berating a similar file right now with 47 bars in Bandlab I’ll let you know how it goes

So here is what I found. My system never started to generate the file the first yellow box opened and then it locked up and required a cakewalk shut down. Also when I close cakewalk BiaB VSTi stays open and has to be closed.

Things have gotten worse over the last two days. 609 partially worked at first and showed some progress but now it’s totally unusable.

I noticed another interesting issue today. It changes the bar markers adding some and changes locations I have to re structure the file again each time I open it.

I guess so. I am surprised that what was working two days ago wont work now. I wish I was one of the thousands that is happy and everything was peachy!

Cakewalk by Bandlab is purring along so far it has generated a brand new file in both 32 bars and 1 and 2 here goes 3 choruses!?!?

Okay 32 bars 3 choruses generated in 2:47 and was rock solid. So it seems at least on my system a new project works well.

Now I will reopen one and see if it will regenerate

Well I’ll would be! Studio one generated a freakin multiriff! I must be dreaming.

Okay so I decided to push the envelope a bit and add another track. Picked a uke by golly it generated. Didn’t like it so picked another RT, a fiddle hit generate........

Yep you guessed it crash epic fail. Locked up program.

Sigh
