When trying to record an audio track in BIAB, I am unable to get any signal from my microphone. I have lots of signal everywhere else (audio interface, other software,etc..). My inputs are set correctly but I get nothing.

Thanks,
Jimmy

Under Audio > Record Audio > Test recording level, is the Microphone Enabled and shown as plugged in, and do you get any response on the VU meters?

Hi Jimmy,

You stated that you have an audio interface. Are you sure that it set up correctly? Just in case here is how to check:
1- options/MIDI audio Driver setup
2- Audio settings
3- Audio drivers
4- Select you inputs and outputs

If this is OK then proceed to Video Tracks instructions.
It not OK then select your input and output sources then proceed to Video Tracks instructions.

PS - It helps if you list all of your specs, things like OS, audio interface name, etc. Info like that can help those whom are trying to help you.

Thanks for your suggestions. I have reviewed all of my settings again (for the 100th time) and they are all correct. My audio interface performs correctly in all areas of sound processing except BIAB. I am using a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6. Iknow the sound is reaching my computer as I have tested it in Windows and it works perfectly. I am really at a loss on this one.

Thanks,
Jimmy

I would check to see if all of your software for the device is up to date.

Success. It seems the drivers for my interface had become corrupted. As soon as I reinstalled the driver I had lots of signal. I don't understand why only BIAB was affected but all is well. Thanks to everyone for their help.

That's awesome Jimmy! Thanks for letting us know. BIAB seems to be more sensitive to audio driver issues than other music software I've seen. Glad you got it working.

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.
