Can somebody explain what does this mean: "removing a audio plugin because this track (7) no longer outputs audio" as seen in yellow pop-up 0.17 seconds into the video?

Hi,

In your video, the Melody track is selected, and that's why the RT instrument is applied to that track.

For the Plugin being removed message -- that is referring to the Soloist track (7) which indeed does not have audio on it. Perhaps you previously had audio on that track... it's not entirely clear to me what happened there.

1) On the video, it shows me right clicking on the track 4 to select RT and it places it on track 6.... Or "melody" if you prefer it. The problem is that I did not select the 6 (Melody) track, I right clicked on 4th. I assume that is exact same problem MikeK and others are facing. RT picker selects WRONG track., not the one that user "right click"s on.
That was the main purpose of the video...

2)For the "removing a audio plugin because this track (7) no longer outputs audio" message... I do not believe I had audio on that track. Done factory reset, restarted program. Chose a random style. Clicked regenerate. That message is still popping. Should not be there. Can anybody else confirm same popup message?

1) Correct. I assume so as well.

2) Strange, I cannot duplicate that at the moment, but will keep an eye out for it. Seems like it's just a spurious message...

I posted this and you can see the selected track Guitar 2 don't change but it adds a new track with accordion.
All I said was have a longer beta so xmas time is joyful.
We are here to help, I go off at times and tell the truth but 90% of the time I go out of my way to help others and PG !

More open honesty would be better for all.

I messed up something in the latest beta, compositions are not loaded fully, only one track.
I am fixing this bug and will upload an update in a few hours.
I am terribly sorry, it is more and more difficult to build a compatible 3.9 version due to the drastic internal changes. Beta48 will be the last update that is supposed to be compatible with the v3 versions.

I will gladly send any earlier versions to anyone if needed.

Thanks,
Attila

It don't work anymore to be closed, users get angry because of non communication and no openness, just be honest and open like the above quote, you can't get angry at that, you feel for them.
Neither confirm or deny secrecy don't work.

Andrew,
so how to fix this?
Opening a "new" file does not solve this.
Resetting to factory (full) does not fix it as well.
Reinstalling latest Patch (804) does not do it either.

What else to try?

I haven't had a lot of time to play around with BiaB and the VSTi but last night I got the same error message. Unfortunately I glad to see that I am not alone. No matter what I did the error message kept coming back.


I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Hi Rusty,

I had the same issue with "removing audio plug-in" and RT creating on the melody track.

When I tried "running BIAB as Administrator" it worked...

Perhaps worth trying?

Mario,
I am not alone! For second there I thought it is a payback for my recent "meatball" post.

Pete,
Thanks for trying. I do run BIAB as admin.

"meatball" I do the same and go off because of frustration and disappointment, feeling let down after putting so much time and effort to make things better. A lot of users appreciate you telling the truth but others are over protective, see it as an attack and would like you to go away, this keeps PG way behind. I have seen it for over 10 years here an I still see it today.

"....see it as an attack and would like you to go away"
ha ha. Not so fast. I am taking all my vitamins.


Pipeline, you got to admit that a LOT have changed in PG software in the past couple of years for the better. Yes, it seems hard to try to convince certain folks to view some things at a different angle, but doable. Not that it makes me feel good, but if the price to pay are some deleted posts, I would not cry over that. I do feel for PG as he is in the middle of things... I can only imagine how hard it is to keep the balance between software and music and at the same time trying to satisfy old time followers and tuning software for modern world....for a relatively small company.

I think PG team figured out the music part (RTs) pretty well, the software part is what needs to be addressed. There are still a few big items on the wish list, but overall BIAB is packed with so many features that I do not know if Peter remembers them all himself smile
I mentioned aesthetics in another post. I believe that specific part is what needs to be looked at closer. Much closer. Not in the sense of "prettifying" things (that too), but design and a better organization of menus and functions. In my opinion, it is one of the most easiest things to do out of all, but simply gets overlooked. And of course fixing bugs and completing unfinished items.

P.S. Pipeline, 2020 was a tough year, I am sure most of us have certain pressure buidup. You are appreciated here, don't let some ignorant people get inside your thoughts, they have their own "pressures".

Amen ! you are right, I pick things up way too much, I think about someone I haven't seen for years then the phone rings and it's them !
I'm just too worn out from it all these days I think frown

You posted an example of how the Plugin GUI could be and I was very impressed with it. You don't see others users come up with examples like that except for VideoTrack's concept video

Boys, my thread!


Andrew or anyone, seems like I am not alone with that "audio plugin" error. Besides these:
Opening a "new" file does not solve this.
Resetting to factory (full) does not fix it as well.
Reinstalling latest Patch (804) does not do it either.

What else is there to try?

Thank you.

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."
