Can use some help setting the audio and midi drivers in Realband. I have been having issues with both Realband and BIAB. Noel helped me set up real band and it seems to be working fine. I just want to go through the proper setup from scratch with Realband
The 2nd part of my issue is my Arturia Analog Lab 3 synth. It was working fine with Realband now I am having problems. I would like to go through the proper setup for vsti/synth plugin. Again, I may have messed something up. This midi stuff is confusing to say the least. Thanks, Rich

It's best if you let us know what you have to work with and what you want to accomplish.
Generally MIDI is a pretty straightforward routing. MIDI out of of a keyboard follows a path to an input somewhere and then gets assigned so something that will generate a sound, or control an effect (or lights) etc.
How do you connect the MIDI out of your keyboard to the computer? Whatever that is would be your MIDI Input Driver in RB.
Then you have 2 ways of assigning that MIDI to a sound; either the default VSTi synth, or a separate individual synth on a different VSTi port.
Ether way that VSTi synth has to be receiving the MIDI data (listening) on the same channel the synth is sending. It is possible to use multiple MIDI channels on a single synth and also possible to use a single MIDI channel on multiple synths. But if the synth you expect to generate sound is not 'listening' on the MIDI channel that your keyboard is sending it will remain silent.
There is good reason for this once you get everything working as expected; you may not want a given synth playing every MIDI event happening on every MIDI channel .. and if you do, you'll likely want different sounds from that synth for each MIDI channel. So synths listen for a MIDI channel and assign a sound to that MIDI channel.
One MIDI driver selection that often causes problems is using MIDIMapper. Selecting this driver means you are allowing Windows to 'guess' what your intent is and it does not usually work well with RB. It often interrupts the signal flow in an unwanted fashion
Better to use the MS GS Wavetable synth driver (even when you intend to use a VSTi in the long run) as this driver plays nicer with RB and follows your intended routing better.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Thank you. It appears that something in Windows is corrupted and I will have to wipe the drive and re-install the operating system. Once I have that done I will see if problems still exist. In the meantime I have two other questions which I will start separate threads for. I will keep everyone updated. thank you for your assistance. Rich

You can fix a lot in windows, especially when you suspect what could be corrupted. IMO re-installing is a lot of work ... not necessarily bringing you the fix (maybe). I would suggest making a backup first with f.i. True image, and then use Tweaking.com's Windows Repair, the free version already has quite a lot of options to offer, and it saved me a lot of time over the years. For starters, use sfc /scannow (as administrator in safe mode is best), or do it direct in elevated command mode. F
User Video: Band-in-a-Box® + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!
Since AI is now readily available online as a resource for many things, we recently put together and shared a video where we demonstrated how to create a song using Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V; we've also shared a Bob Doyle Media video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band in A Box, showing how they utilize AI for their song projects. Now it's time to share Henry's video, Band-in-a-Box + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!, where he demonstrates how to use ChatGPT and Band-in-a-Box to whip a song project together in only 3-4 hours.
