Thought that this would be easy, but its proving a real challenge. I usually use BIAB just for practice, but I decided to try recording too.


With some help from the PG team I have managed to get a VST loaded into
the thru channel. Now my keyboard plays sounds that are coming from NeoSoulKeys (great instrument IMO)

I tried hitting the record MIDI and the Record Audio but there was no recording

This process seems to involve the "thru" channel and either a melody track or a soloist track and I am really not sure why.

I watched the video and it was talking about set up in Windows. I am using Asio from my Liquid 56 - I think.

I am really perplexed and am not even sure this is possible

You must be a glutton for punishment. You do have a DAW for recording, don't you?

Your probably right Dan, but surely this is a bog standard VST function, and not that hard to implement.

I practice about 5-6 hours most days using BIAB, Real Tracks are great and BIAB has helped me improve dramatically. I would not want to say its all bad.

However, for years now I have run the Audio from my Roland 700NX and any sound I want WITH BIAB completely outside the software. I gave up on using BIAB to channel the sounds over five years ago.

Why should I have to do this? (!)

With 2015 I thought I would try again

Surely it should be simple to do this - specifically record and playback using a VST in Band in a box.


"We’ve added direct support for 64-bit VST plugins" is what is said on the website


Surely this is possible!?

I agree the NeoSoul Keys are great - I only have them installed on my Motif XS7 however, not as VSTi.

Back to recording I agree recording IN BIAB is less then straight forward, however having said that:

-Set a VSTi, may as well let it be NeoSoulKeys, on the Thru channel in VSTi pull down or via MIXER, this then allows you to HEAR the sound as you record it.

-Next , hit record and select either Melodist of Soloist track, that’s simply the track where THE MIDI data will end up as you record - it WILL NOT SOUND during recording from that track, irrespective of any VSTi that may or may not be set on that track.

-Record song

-IMPORTANT BEFORE playback - insert the another copy of NeoSoulKeys but now the Melodist or Soloist track, as case may be, (yes , could have done this at same time you set a VSTi on the Thur track)

Now all should be GOOD as long as: see pics 1 and 2 for some Thur settings.

Save the song the recorded MIDI data (on either Sol/Mel tracks), and BOTH VSTi settings on Thur and Mel/Sol track SHOULD be saved?

Just did all that as test using Fishman Triple Play guitar and XS7,

HOWEVER, please note when you re-open the song the Thru track has the right VSTi in the VSTi pull-down for Thru but WRONG name in mixer window - that appears to be a glitch

Thank you Larry I do believe this will work, though its very circuitous, will give it a try.

thanks for the time you spent on the reply

BTW the thru track is not only misnamed, but it does not reload the VST correctly on reload.
