I'm using CW9, have a P3-800 with 512 mem. I did this song and it plays back fine. There's 4 tracks of audio.... (1) track was when I turned (5) tracks of BIAB midi to a audio track and the other (3) are guitar tracks. Everything plays fine but as soon as I try to do a mixdown to audio to get a wav file, and play it back on windows media player it breaks up different places in the song. Does this have something to do with windows media player or do I have some kind of setting wrong in CW????
 
I guess there are many possibilities in terms of what the actual problem is...

Isolate whether it's a problem with the file or a problem with your computer playback. Take a .wav or .mp3 over to another computer and see if it breaks up again and in the same places.

If playback on other systems is OK, then something may be wacked with media player. Mix down to a .mp3 file and play it in Winamp for comparison. Or open the .wav file in an editor and see if it looks jacked (i.e. dropouts, etc.).

Check and see that you're not accidentally outputting some sort of non-standard .wav format (i.e. bit depth, sample rate, etc.) not supported by media player.

Hope that helps narrow it down.
