Hi,

With your 2020 version, did you run that from the hard drive of your computer or from a PG Music USB drive?

If you ran it from a USB drive, did you install the PlusPak and Bonus Material to the USB drive?

Regards,
Noel

Are you using the 32-bit version? Try the 64-bit version

Hi,
I had the same problem.. I use a external usb sound card system "Presonus audiobox USB 96"
That was the problem for me, it worked perfectly with 2020 version but not at all with 2021 version.
What I did: went to BB / Preferences/ found intrface.bbw file renamed it intrfaceold.bbw and run biab again... all personnal config is loste but the program is starting.. could only work with asio for all or "WAS" configuration..
A bug that will be fixed I hope in next patch.

This has also been reported. There is something about some choices of audio driver, as you say.

MME worked fine for me but if I tried ASIO BIAB 2021 crashed consistently. Yes, I too am using PreSonus AudioBox 22 VSL. I updated the PreSonus software this morning but it did not help.

Deb, look at post above.
Start BIAB in MME or Wasapi, with ASIO interface disconnected. Change driver setting in BIAB to ASIO (with actual interface still disconnected) Close out of BIAB. Connect interface. Launch BIAB. See, if it resolves.

This did not work for me. I even completely removed any interface from windows (uninstalled etc.) I do not have any interface connected to the computer at all and it still just exits out of splash screen. I can never get into BIAB to change driver settings to anything.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

No luck here. I did send the error message to support just now. So, we'll see what happens.

Thanks, Rustyspoon, for the help. Appreciate it very much.

This worked and I was able to start the program after this. Thanks.

My installation is on an internal M2 NVMe drive and bb folder is at the root of the drive. I am running the 64 bit version on a new PC where the 2020 version was installed and was working fine.

To remove the preferences is what has been suggested by the PG Music support but I have lost all my favorites styles and why the thousands of style not sure If I will start to build the Favorite Styles another time.

Now as some of you I have tried to select my RME Fireface UFX ASIO driver but it crashed BB2021 each time I have an access violation message in module bbw64.exe
I cannot get out of the program and I need to make a Ctrl+alt+suppr to get the Task manager to stop BIAB 2021

I think this release is too buggy and I will go back to the 2020 version until this is sorted

Some users are experiencing issues using ASIO in Band-in-a-Box and RealBand 2021 - we are working on it, but for now try switching your driver type to WAS. This should offer roughly the same performance as ASIO.

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."
