Hi,

The last time I used BIAB, everything is working fine. Today, when I run it, it just would not continue after showing the splash screen. I tried reinstalling but it did not fix the problem.

Please help!!!

Thanks.

After several attempts, I noticed that it will also continue after several minutes (5 mins or so) which is unusual. Sometimes it will crash in the middle of using it. I don't know what happened. I can't remember doing something unusual to make it behave like this. frown

I don't know if this is the problem. I tried waiting for BIAB to start after showing the splash screen (i.e., BIAB banner when loading the app). This message appeared:

RealTracks not found: (Style)(Set #300) 2808 Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm SoulPop 16thsMike Ev16 065

This is one of the instruments I used in the project I'm working on. However, when I open the project using this, it's working fine.

What am I missing? I already reset to factory setting but it did not solve the problem. I will take about 5 minutes for BIAB to load.

Do you run your Realtracks from and external USB drive? If so, I wonder if you need to set the path under "Preferences | Realtracks".... especially so if you returned to factory settings.

My BIAB is installed on my hard drive. I think the "real tracks not found" issue is a separate thing. When I tried loading another song and restarted BIAB, the problem is still the same. It will start in about 5 minutes.

I was able to resolve the issue, at last! First, I looked at the log file and noticed that it indicated only about 4 to 7 seconds to load BIAB. Then I thought, it is something outside BIAB. I remember that I have jBridge installed so I uninstall it. But when I run BIAB, still the same. Then I reinstalled jBridge again. Then everything is back to normal.

My assumption is, it could be one of my plugins that caused the problem. Though, it could be jBridge also. I really don't know but I'm glad I can use BIAB normally again.

Thanks.

Yes, plugins can cause the system to hang. The only way (that I know of at least) to see if that is the case is to either remove them or add them one at a time until the problem vst is isolated. If it only happened recently, it sounds like a recently added plugins might have been the problem.

I agree.

Tough my problem on long loading is gone. The issue on the missing realtrack is still a puzzle to me. The yellow warning appears when I load the song but the song plays alright using the same realtrack.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
