Band In A Box Plugin 2022 v4.8.7
Mac OS 13.0.1 (22A400) Ventura
Logic Pro 10.7.5

I cannot get any sound to work in Logic - stand alone works as normal

I bought band in a box to be able to use the plugin interface in Logic Pro so as not to be forced to use the UGLY as sin standalone app - which literally hurts my eyes due to my autism>

ANY FIXES FOR THIS NIGHTMARE OUT THERE??????

WILL A DARK MODE be implemented on Band In A BOX apps/plugins EVER?????
The GUI on these is so last century, looks cheap and nasty>

anyhow back to the NO AUDIO in the OS X Plugin, please anyone help please xxx

Hi,

Can you clarify if the "standalone" plugin works on your system? This is file located in /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/BBPlugin/Files/

Can you generate and play files? Let us know what you find.

Hi Andrew as stated in my original post:

"stand alone works as normal" the problem is with the DAW plugin

OOPS sorry reread ur reply -

standalone plugin in location u specified works exactly the same as the daw plugin does> both will generate and play files - but no audio outputs, unlike the standard BIB app which outputs audio and behaves normally>

Thanks - ok so the the "DAW Plugin" works the same for you whether you use it in Logic or if you use the "Standalone" (not to be confused with the main Band-in-a-Box app.).

I'm confused though when you say it will generate and play files. If you look in this folder "Band-in-a-Box/BBPlugin/Saved Tracks": When you press generate in the plugin (use the standalone plugin for testing, as it eliminates a lot of variables in a DAW) it should create a unique subfolder with the current time. In that folder, you should see some wave and/or MIDI files being created as the generation proceeds. Do you see those files there?

How did you do that (making it dark mode)? I don't see that option anywhere.

Hopefully you will have the 2023 version on Mac soon unless apple change their OS again and apps stop working then you may have to wait many months more while a lot of overtime goes into fixing the problem.

The Mac version of BIAB normally shows up between May and September, sometimes a little earlier or later.

Just now chatted with Will in CHAT room. 12/14/2022.

NO, MAC BAIB PLUG IN is NOT compatible with Ventura.

He says there is NO KNOWN DATE when compatibility will happen.


I am MAC 2021 Audiophile. I won't upgrade until this issue is fixed.
My fix is I construct my song in the App and Generate AIFF Tracks.
I add the tracks to my DAW (Logic) individually. Much slower and a pain, but that works.

Until then the best work around is to use BiaB rather than the plugin to drag tracks to your DAW. It works fine and allows use of all of BiaB’s tools.

There are always a host of issues in the music production world relative to major MacOS updates. Izotope products, for example, are typically one of the last to be designated compatible - often 3-4 months after the OS release. I think a good general rule is to be patient on upgrading the OS sans any critical need to do so.

Peripherally related so pardon smile

There is an updated DAW Plugin (4.8.14) that supports macOS Ventura. The patch is still in pre-release testing, but will be posted on the site soon. You can download it right now from here:
https://dl11.pgmusic.com/support/mpatch/bb2022_mac_update_build609_dawplugin_4.8.14.pkg

This patch is the same as the shipping build 609, it's just the plugin build that is updated.
