BIAB2014 doesn't see Sampletank files #233315 01/06/14 01:30 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

OP Tom Leparskas Enthusiast T Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 72 Windsor,Ontario,Canada	I have 2014 BIAB installed plus sampletank 2.5. Sampletank is authorized and I can hear sounds from it when running in stand alone mode. All the audio files are in the C:\programfiles(x86)\IKmultimedia\Sampletank 2.5\Band In a Box sub-directory where they are supposed to be. In BIAB selecting Hi-Q menu choice from mixer pop-up- BIAB will report files as missing: for example a drum part: Hi-Q 001 01 Drums, Acoustic, Rock Kit SampleTank.tgs not found in C:\Program Files (x86)\IK Multimedia\SampleTank 2.5\Instruments\Band-in-a-Box\ or strings: Hi-Q 050 01 Strings, Ensemble, Movie SampleTank.tgs not found in C:\Program Files (x86)\IK Multimedia\SampleTank 2.5\Instruments\Band-in-a-Box\ Thanks, Tom

If so, please let me know it's path. Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

OP Tom Leparskas Enthusiast T Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 72 Windsor,Ontario,Canada	Noel: I started BIAB as administrator. When accessing ST I got a yellow pop up menu suggesting I move the band in a box folder up one level and put it under "sampletank 2.5" Does that sound right? I didn't get the pop up starting BIAB in normal mode. I will try it. Tom

Noel96 Veteran Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 18,955 Australia	Hi Tom, I wouldn't put the BIAB files up a level. Sampletank needs to have the files it seeks all off the same level/directory. That's usually the default ...\Instruments directory. Have you tried going to BBW.EXE in the \bb directory and setting its permissions to "Administrator"? This is done by right clicking on the file and opening the "Properties" option. If I recall correctly from an earlier post, setting permissions is worth trying. Regards, Noel MY SONGS...

OP Tom Leparskas Enthusiast T Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 72 Windsor,Ontario,Canada	Noel: OK, I've heeded your advice. I set all permissions to 'allow' - - but when I try to adjust sST in DXI window it states I am not running ST in Admin Mode - restart in admin mode. It has full permissions. However the issue of the 'lost' tgs files etc is not solved. BIAB still cannot find the sounds though they are in what seems to be the correct path. Tom

Noel96 Veteran Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 18,955 Australia	Tom, My files are in a sub-folder called Band-in-a-box. If your sub-folder does not have the above exact name with hyphens, try renaming it. Also, at some point in time it might pay to shut down and reboot your computer (not simply start it up from hibernate/sleep). Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

I've given bbw full permissions, as well as all the files in the sampletank folder. Have done a full re-boot and actually re-installed Hi-Q files. That didn't do it. I'm at work, so will check actual path name when I get home. Thanks, Tom

Noel96 Veteran Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 18,955 Australia	Tom, See how you go. If the problem persists, it probably means that you'll need to (re)set Sampletank's default path. I'll explain how to do that if you don't get any joy. Out of curiosity ... 1. Are you using the free Sampletank that came with BIAB? 2. Have you authorized ST through IK Multimedia? 3. Have you used ST on earlier versions of BIAB? Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

Noel96 Veteran Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 18,955 Australia	Tom, I'm replying to your recent comments in the other thread. I've noticed from other posts over recent months that logging into your computer as administator is not enough. People have reported that it's actually necessary to go to the file bbw.exe and give it administration priviges by right-clicking on it and opening the files "Properties". Is that how you set BBW.EXE? If not, it's definitely worth trying. Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

I run Windows 7 64 bit. It's not going to work no matter what.. IK has posted Sampltank 3.0 will be the 64 bit compatible plugin. Amplitude 3 DOES run in 64 - so I've never had an issue with it. OY!! I wish PG Music had that info posted somewhere to save all these headaches. I'll just skip HI-Q for now. Tom

Some few have reported troubles getting it going, though. A Forum Search here should show both. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com

OP Tom Leparskas Enthusiast T Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 72 Windsor,Ontario,Canada	Mac, worth finding out. I'm going by what I saw on IK Multimedia. This question was for Logic Pro in 64 bit but the answer seems to include all 64 bit OS. --------- Please note that Logic Pro X is a 64 bit only application. This means that there are some IK plugins which are not compatible at this time. Currently, the following plugins are compatible with 64 bit hosts such as Logic Pro X: AmpliTube 3 AmpliTube Custom Shop T-Racks 3 T-Racks Custom Shop Classik Studio Reverb ARC System ARC System 2 The following plugins are not compatible with Logic Pro X: SampleTank 2 (L/XL/XT/Free) SampleMoog SampleTron Sonik Synth 2 Miroslav Philharmonik Miroslav Philharmonik Classik Edition AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix AmpliTube Fender AmpliTube Metal Ampeg SVX For the individual AmpliTube versions listed above, you can host them inside of AmpliTube 3 or AmpliTube Custom Shop, which supports 64 bit. To do this, please launch AmpliTube 3/AmpliTube Custom Shop and click the 'Custom Shop' logo or launch the Custom Shop from your Programs (Windows) or Applications (Mac) folder. This will open the Custom Shop application, login using your IK User Name/Password. Click up top on the GEAR drop-down menu, select 'Restore My Gear'. This will load in your registered and purchased 'AmpliTube' models into AmpliTube 3/AmpliTube Custom Shop for use in Logic Pro X and other 64 bit only hosts. If you do not have AmpliTube 3 or AmpliTube Custom Shop, you will find a free copy of AmpliTube Custom Shop available in your User Area > My Products on www.ikmultimedia.com. For our virtual instruments such as, Miroslav Philharmonik, SampleMoog, SampleTron, SampleTank 2, and Sonik Synth 2, the move to support 64 bit will come in the form of SampleTank 3, a new version. Please stay tuned for updated release information and pricing on this upcoming version of SampleTank 3. ---------------------- end quote Tom

MarioD Veteran Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 21,006 Hamlin NY	I have been running ST2.5 on a 64 bit Win 7 Professional for a couple of years now in both Sonar and BiaB with no problems. If the forum search doesn’t help you may need to wrap ST2,5 with a program like J-bridge: http://jstuff.wordpress.com/jbridge/ I use J-bridge on 32 bit VST and VSTis when Sonar’s automatic bit-bridge doesn’t. Sonar may have automatically wrapped ST2.5 on my system, don’t know. All I do know is that ST2.5, which I have had for quite a while now, worked from the git-go in BiaB. My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
