ON THE MAC!: I managed to to output the midi tracks to the VST sounds, but how do I then save (export) the sound that's coming from the Sampletank VST? If I merely click the usual Audio button to export the song the usual way, it reverts to using the DSL sounds for the midi tracks, which is not what I want!

Anyone cracked this?

Something to try.

Solo the UserTracks then use an audio recording program such as Audacity to record what you hear during playback.

Never tried Audacity but it's worth a shot, thanks

Hitting a bit of a snag here: Audacity now installed but I'm struggling to figure out how I can make it record a sound that's coming from within the computer (as opposed to some external source). Any ideas? confused

You'll need help from a Mac OS person for that. Investigate how your Core Audio settings work in relation with each other. In Windows there are audio control panel settings you can enable to create an internal bridge.

I don't know what the Mac interface looks like, but this is where to set the input on the Windows version:

The interface looks the same, the options to pick from are not.

Right, that's two inputs now from PC users to a clearly indicated MAC issue - where are my people in this whole forum?! smirk

Windows users sometimes try to help Mac users because there are many more active Windows forum members than active Mac forum members.

I was aware this was a Mac specific question when I responded. I expected you to either say you changed a core audio setting and solved the issue or a screenshot of your settings. I'm sorry my suggestion was of no help to you.

Yes, I realise that, and that's the whole point, innit. I mean, even the Mac specific forum (where perhaps I should've placed this to begin with) seems half dead most of the time. I just don't quite understand why that is, and it can get frustrating when you got an unresolved issue, sometimes for days, mainly due to the lack of active participation of your alleged 'peers'!

But none of this is your fault, my little outburst there was aimed at said peers, not you smile

Two points on this: I completely missed any such screen sharing hints in that response and the issue remains quite unsolved. And point two: You suggested the idea of finding other programs that might work in my favour, so in that sense at least you did help cool

OSX doesn't have the ability to record system audio built-in, but there are (additional) software that enables it. This article should help:

Hope it works for you!

Thanks to Bjorn Beskow for his suggestion. Icelander, thanks for letting everyone know the issue is resolved. This thread might help other Mac users.

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
