BaiB 2023 - After updating, the DAW plugin 5.4.12 fails in Logic (10.7.7), yet oddly it works in GarageBand?

Edit. If I put a tick in the plug-in manager in Logic where it says Crashed etc, then hit Done. Restart Logic and head to AU Instruments the Plugin shows up under Incompatible. Select it and it works fine, very odd.

Not sure if it's just my system or not. If others updated to 704 and are having the same problem its a work around.

Yeah, I had the same thing here.
I rolled back to the 703 build and it's working again.
I posted the crash logs from the AU vaildation tool here, so hopefully the PG folks will have a fix soon.

How do you rollback? Just reinstall 703? Where can I find it?

Hi Bob,
I used a program called Suspicious Package to extract the plugin component file from the 703 build install package, and replaced the 704 component file in my AU plugin folder.

It's a free program it works really well, and comes in handy for stuff like this.

Here is the 703 package :

Hopefully this helps.

No problem here. AU validation is always a PIA for be in Logic since I have over 800 now. Interestingly, the DAW plugin 5.4.12 did not give me any grief this time.

Here is a build 704 update patch that installs build 5.4.7 of the plugin. If the Logic validation error still happens when you install this, please let us know.

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!

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."
