Try monitoring from the Mbox interface and not the computer.
Plug headphones into the MBox and you should hear your incoming signal.
Send output from BiaB into MBox so you hear both at once.
Kind of like using the MBox as a mini mixer.
(?) I don't have an MBox but most interfaces work this way.


Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Hi Watson,

Let's go to Options - Preferences - Audio. What's selected as the Audio Driver Type?

Please click Audio Drivers next. Is the MBox selected in the Window that appears?

Thanks
Kent

Hi Kent
Thanks for your help i did check in audio options
my interface (digidesign )but I can’t hear my audio signal. I can hear everything else.

Hi Watson,

Are you saying you don't hear Band-in-a-Box's audio output, or that you don't hear what you're trying to record in your headphones as you record it? If it's the latter, then we're talking about input monitoring, which Band-in-a-Box won't do for you (since it's not a DAW).

Monitoring would be handled by the MBox, not by the software. The MBox's manual should explain how to enable input monitoring, but if you can't figure it out, please let us know which MBox model you're using.

Thanks
Kent

Hi Watson,

It looks like that "Monitor" knob is the volume control for the "Mon Out" outputs on the back of the MBox, nothing to do with input monitoring.

I'm not sure the MBox 2 actually provides hardware input monitoring. One review I found online said this: "The Mix control has gone and so the Low Latency monitoring feature is handled by the Pro Tools software, just as it is with the 002 and 002R interfaces." I also couldn't find any information in the MBox 2 Firewire's manual about enabling monitoring without ProTools.

If you open your Band-in-a-Box song in RealBand and do your recording there, RealBand can provide input monitoring, as long as you use an ASIO or WAS audio driver.

Thanks

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."
