How can I speed up RealTracks generation time?
• Band-in-a-Box 2010 and higher have an option in the RealTracks Settings dialog to “Speed up generation of RealTracks” (default=True). This uses more of your system resources, but makes RealTracks generate WAY faster (typically 3 times faster) than previous versions of Band-in-a-Box. • RealTracks generation speed is a function of CPU speed, available RAM, and hard drive speed. In addition, the time to generate is a function of (# of ReaTracks in song) times (# of bars in song). If you reduce the length of the song, they’ll generate faster. • Some RealTracks generate faster than others. In general, “Background” and “Rhythm” RealTracks generate faster than “Soloist” RealTracks which have larger databases of riffs. • With a typical 32 bar x 3 chorus song, a RealTracks instrument should only take a few seconds to generate – this varies depending on the factors mentioned, but if it’s *significantly* longer than this or if you’re seeing error messages, you might want to investigate that fur
