Bonjour , je viens de commander à l'instant Band-in-a-Box UltraPlusPAK FR , en attendant de recevoir le disque dur j'ai commencé le téléchargement pour pouvoir déjà en installer une partie , mais c'est mal partie ... Je m'explique , j'ai déjà une version complète de Sample Tank et quand j'installe BB, il me supprime ma version ST et en installe une nettement mon complète , du coup je viens de restaurer mon système , j'aimerai savoir si il y a une possibilité de ne pas installer Sample Tank ni Ampli Tube ou faut-il attendre le disque dur ?
Désolé, je me suis peut-être mal exprimé mais je suis un peu perdu et ne sais comment faire , merci à vous !

Bonjour,

de mémoire, il me semble que le setup de BIAB installe les dossiers nécessaires à l'intégration ultérieure de SampleTank dans BIAB, mais n'installe pas SampleTank directement ... Celui-ci était à télécharger et activer sur le site de IK gratuitement pour tout acquéreur de BIAB (je pense que c'est toujours le cas).

Donc, dans l'ordre :
- installation de BIAB
- installation ou réinstallation de SampleTank puis activation du produit

... même principe pour amplitube ...

Finalement, SampleTank est pour moi un plugin multi-instrumental de très bonne qualité, mais avec l'inconvénient d'être plus lourd à utiliser (recherche et sélection des instruments par canaux comme pour des vsti/dxi) que des synthés généralistes comme les coyotes (plus pratiques mais moins bons en terme de qualité sonore)

Pour ma part, je me sert beaucoup plus d'Amplitube pour mes besoins d'effets "guitare" et beaucoup moins de SampleTank (je lui préfère des plugins différenciés spécialisés par instruments).

C'est juste mon expérience et les autres avis sont les bienvenus ... smile

Cordialement

Merci à toi boowoo3 , en recommençant l'installation de bb , je me suis aperçu qu'il fallait tout simplement décoché l'installation de Sample Tanck et d'Amplitube pour conserver mes plugins dans leurs états. Voilà ce que c'est de vouloir aller trop vite ... Maintenant plus qu'à visionner les tutos que j'ai trouvé en Français et attendre la réception du disque dur pour pouvoir profiter de la suite (trop de fichiers à télécharger : 80 Go) . Encore Merci à toi !

Les fichiers les plus gros sont les realtracks ...
Pour patienter,
Tu peux déjà utiliser BIAB sans realtracks, avec toutes les fonctions "midi" et la version SampleTank qui est installée chez toi -> tu n'as qu'à sélectionner sa dll dans les plugins de BIAB et tu pourras t'en servir tout de suite !

Dans BIAB,
menu -> Plugins
->réglages Synthés VST/DXi
Clique dans la case au dessous de Plugin et vérifie si SampleTank n'apparait pas déjà dans le menu déroulant ...
sinon, tout en bas du menu déroulant clique sur :
-> Ajouter un plugin VSTi
-> Dans l'arborescence chercher Ordinateur/C:/Programs/VstPlugins/SampleTank...dll/
-> Sélectionner la dll
(la dll peut se trouver dans un autre dossier, vst, steinberg.. chercher si besoin)
Ensuite le mieux, fermer et relancer BIAB, SampleTank doit apparaitre dans les plugins.

Merci , c'est bon , en bidouillant j'ai vu que l'on pouvait assigner des plugins différents pour chacun des instruments , par exemple ezdrummer , Miroslav Philharmonik etc ... Par contre pour le piano je ne trouve pas la dll de Grand 3 (Steinberg) , mais je suis déjà bien content car les sons c'est vraiment autre chose .... Maintenant plus qu'a essayer de comprendre et de me familiariser avec tout ça , Et ça va pas être de la tarte ... crazy

Pour ton piano, il faut que tu aies fait une installation complète de "The Grand" au départ en cochant vsti, dxi,...
Sinon (moi j'ai la version 2)
La dll devrait être dans C:/programs/Steinberg/TheGrand/TheGrand3
Si le chemin d'accès semble différent, fait une recherche par mot clé dans C: en tapant TheGrand3.dll

Salut boowoo3 ,
Merci beaucoup pour ton aide !
Après réflexion ce n'est vraiment pas important et c'est même une perte de temps car après je traite toutes les pistes sur Cubase et c'est là que je travaille mes sons, en fait , cela faisait faire deux fois le même boulot. En tous cas , cela m'a permis de commencer à découvrir Band in a Box et maintenant je vais continuer à me plonger dans son utilisation et essayer de l'exploiter au mieux ... Je pense que je n'ai pas finie de venir ici vous poser des questions ... A très bientôt sur le forum , et encore merci !
Gil

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
