That is strange. I tried several audio cards (some from 9 years back) everything worked.

Did you go to Audio(top menu)->Audio Driver/Settings->Audio Drivers and check that it shows the card you are using?
In that menu also check INPUT and OUTPUT so it is of same card!

I had a situation where it had input of one card and output of the other....

Good luck.

Blue Yeti Pro, Arturia Audiofuse, UA Arrow and of course onboard Realtec.

UA was giving me headache with BIAB, so I got rid of it. It worked, but I had to reset WAS/Asio and input/output (mismatch) of that card all the time.

Also thing to check, is default Audio Card settings and bitrate in Windows system.

interesting, thanks.


Blue Yeti Pro,


this of course is direct USB, Im not having any trouble with my audio technica USB either.


Arturia Audiofuse, UA Arrow

wow, never even heard of these! They look fairly
high end, though. How'd you even hear of them? They never come up in articles on interfaces that I read about.

Here's how you get to them

From there just verify that your current default soundcard playback and recording settings match up with what you are testing in BIAB. Click on Properties of the selected soundcard on playback and on recording and go to the advanced tab. This is where Windows defines 16 bit/44.1KHz, 24 bit/96KHz, etc.....

I use a Presonus Studio 6/8. Works great, sounds great. No issues with BIAB. How are you testing these interfaces and what do you mean by fail? It should work with any interface as long as you set it up properly.

Agreed. A lot of folks on these forums are using Presonus or Focusrite interfaces. That seems to be the crowd favs.

That is not what I said. I said that these brands are the most popular. They have very good mic preamps and are very good bang for the buck. If the audio interface works well on the PC, in general it should work fine for BIAB.

We still need you to define FAIL.

UAD Arrow is Thunderbolt 3 interface. Seems highly respected brand., I personally did not like it.
---
Arturia is a big name in synth world. I never owned anything by them except for Audiofuse interface. I wanted something portable, yet professional (prosumer). Audiofuse has two separate headphones outs with separate volume controls, so two+ people can record without the need of mixer., but most importantly it has amazing mic preamps. I had a Roland interface before, it was like a kids toy compared to audio quality / features of Audiofuse.

There are way more than 2 brands working ..
Focusrite 18i20 and 2i2, Delta 1010, M-Audio 24/96, MOTU, Presonus, Roland, Behringer .. I've seen them all work.
Any issues are usually in the setup/use of the device.
Next most common issue; system USB not up to snuff ..


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

It may just be something as simple as needing to adjust some audio settings in the program. As has been mentioned above, you will need to go into your audio settings within the program and set up your hardware so the program knows what it's looking for. If you want to shoot us an e-mail at support@pgmusic.com or post your audio settings here, we can always take a look at your settings and see if there's something that needs to be tweaked or adjusted.


Cheers,
Ember

Yes, and KGU, will you please edit your title to this thread? ALL CAPS plus FAIL, FAIL is not a good look for something that is obviously you not understanding how to set up an interface properly. And again, we cannot help you until you define the word fail. Is it no sound, distorted sound, or what? Tell us exactly what you did and post screenshots of your config screens.

I also use the Steinberg UR22 MKII with no issues.

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.
