I recently had to reinstall BIAB and RT 2011.5 and since then there is reverb in RT but not in BIAB. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dan

Dan, welcome to the forum.

By "RT" might you mean, RealBand?

It would help us if we knew more about your system, particularly the settings in the MIDI Driver preferences. Are you using a hardware synth, or a software one (and if it's software, did you check the DXi checkbox)?

Thanks for your response Matt. I did mean RealBand. The DXi box is checked. My setup is simple. I'm not using any Midi at the moment just RealTracks. It's when I record a vocal on BIAB that there's no reverb. Let me know if you need more specific information.

OK, that's helpful. I don't have 2011.5 anymore, but I think it's the same. Did you click on the Audio button (up where it says Bass, Melody, Soloist etc). That brings up a dialog box where you adjust the reverb.

If you did that and it did not work, you should reboot and restart BIAB. If that does not fix it, try Opt., Return to Factory Settings.

If that does not work, someone else will have to help, or you could call PG Music Support (who are great).

MisterZ,

In Realband, you add the reverb AFTER you have recorded your vocal. You will need to either use a "track category" set up or select a reverb in the dx/vst slot on the vocal track. Your vocal records "dry" and then you have to select and set up a reverb effect in one of the vst/dx slots that pop up when you select the vst arrow at the front of the track.

I would suggest selecting a pre-set "male vocal" set up via "track category." That will load some effects that are pre-set up for different categories like vocals, drums, guitars etc. You can adjust them individually to balance out your FX.

If you are not familiar with track categories, go to help in RB and type in track category. It will show you where to look in RB to set it up. I usually use the male vocal pre-set on my vocal tracks and adjust each one to "taste." Once you see how they are implemented, you can quickly select and set up FX for various audio tracks. Works very well and they are pre-set by the PG Team in the RB Software.

Good luck and let us know if you are having trouble loading them etc.

Unless I'm mistaken, the problem he is having is that he gets no reverb on the vocal in BIAB (not RealBand) and he wants some.
