Hi,

first of all thanks for Build 145: BiaB no longer crashes immediately after opening.

One more problem: When I use the new feature „Plugins“ there are no sounds.

May be its due to my selection of ports: IAC-buses 2 to 10 for BiaB-tracks – I do not know.

Anyone who can bring sounds to my setup?

(By the way:

1. When I use sample players (for example Play or Aria) or virtual instruments of which I can select a midi-port and which I can use as stand-alone versions, everything works fine – except in respect of NI's Kontakt 5, that no longer works with BiaB: system-overload after some seconds and only scratches to hear. Anyone with the same problem who found a solution?

2. When I render a BiaB-song with midi-instruments, the system always accesses the built-in Mac sounds (Apple DLS Synth) although Mac OS X CoreMIDI is chosen in the setup.
Anyone with an idea what to do to get the sounds of the virtual instruments chosen for BiaB-midi-tracks?)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards.

Hi,

as there was no response, I contacted the BiaB-support and Kent from BiaB immediatly answered to my request for support and solved my problems.

It was not for the first time that something that did not work as I supposed that it should was due to settings that I was responsibler for and not a matter of BiaB.

May be there is a Mac-user who will have the same problems that I had. Here is the solution as Kent advised:

If you select an IAC-Bus, the MIDI signal gets sent outside of Band-in-a-Box, and the tracks will be silent, even if you've applied plugins to them. You'll need to change Bass, Piano, etc back to the default setting, Apple DLS Synth.

IAC Bus should only be selected if you intend to route the MIDI to another application, and if you do route the signal to one (like a stand-alone synth or sampler), there's no way for Band-in-a-Box to capture that other application's audio when you render to an audio file, as the audio is being generated outside of Band-in-a-Box.

Thank you again, Kent, for your help.
