Thanks Jim

I don't appear to have VSC3 - my son did a partial install and abandoned, I'm trying to salvage something from the mess, don't have discs any more. Can I gt it somewhere, Isn't it free? I'd like it, I guess, but that's not the point. The sound here in BIAB is actually pretty good - way better than MS GS Wavetable synth - which I know well.

Still at a point where no sound is recorded. "'Use vst', untic midi thru" - these buttons don't appear on my current MIDI driver setup dialogue. I use Cubase SX3 these days rather than Sonar.

"To record midi in biab select the red record button and it should record to the melody track. I'm thinking you should be able to do this now, but if not report back."

No red record button on BIAB 11 that I can see, though there is a record button. No 'vsti synth button' or 'two small arrows' - a yellow box with nothing in it? Pressed Rec - it played but at the end said 0 notes recorded.

Any ideas?

thanks
