Hello All, I had a recent situation (I think caused by a Windows 10 version update) that required me to reinstall Windows 10.The OS suggested it will retain all programs/apps and files installed, and it appeared to do so. I launched Band in a Box, which prompted me to upgrade my version of Band in a Box, which I did, to the latest version (840 - I am running Audiophile in 64 bit off the PG Music provided drive). I use Mixcraft 9 as my DAW. Now, when I launch the DAW (Run as administrator) and choose Change Instrument, I can then choose category successfully (VSTi instruments), but when I choose (2:25 in the instructional video pasted below) Band in A Box DAW VST Plugin, it pauses briefly, tries to load it, but crashes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad26Z8JCGd8&t=124sThis also happens when I open the file of a previously-created composition that has Band in A box already selected as a plug in. Any suggestions? Mixcraft re-install? Band in a Box re-install? Tom Marvan.

That video is over two years old using version 1 of the BIAB-VST. So we are talking about BIAB-VST V3 for 2021, right? Exactly when did the problem originate?
Sorry, I don't use Mixcraft, but can testify that the BIAB-VST is working fine in current versions including Win10 (big update just the other day) and with Reaper.

Hi.
Thank you for your reply.
The video was to illustrate the steps I take to initiate the plugin, as directed by PG, and is still valid today I believe. I am currently using the latest full on, top of the line of Mixcraft and Band in A Box versions, not to mention a GE66 Raider MSI 10th Gen Core i7 laptop, with dedicated NVIDIA 8GB GDDR6 video card, 32GB DDR4 RAM and a 1TB SSD HD.
All was working fine with the same versions, same software, everything, until recently, when Windows apparently did a background upgrade (which also hosed my network printers in my office).
At least, that is what I suspect it is - the big Win OS update.
In my case now, when I create a new VST track or select a current, previously-functioning track, then choose Band in A Box as the VST, it crashes Mixcraft.
Tom Marvan.

OK. I would like to see Simon (PGMusic) weigh in on this comment to confirm for you. He stops in on occasion. Only the BIAB-VST acting up? No other VST's or music apps? You know you can run the BIAB-VST as a standalone just to see if it is impacted (there is an .exe file for this). If other's are messed up, you may want to do a quick refresh of your audio device drivers.

Hello All,
I just wanted to report that my issue was fixed after a simple, run of the mill Band In a Box software update a few weeks after my last post. Thank you for all those that provided feedback.

(upon further research, it was the Band-in-a-Box® Version 2021 Update - Build 842 (Sept 3 2021) update). And I see there is a new one today! (Oct 15, 2021).
