Hi Will,

The Sampletank information has been previously presented so I will not address that issue. The saving of VSTi presets when saving from either BiaB or a DAW is a hit or miss situation. SOME VSTis when used in combination with SOME DAWs do not save the presets. I have the same problem with a couple of VSTis in Studio One Pro. Try what has already been suggested but if they don't work it probably isn't your fault.

My workflow is very similar to Noel's workflow. I get the style and most of the notes that I want in BiaB then drag and drop them into my DAW. In my DAW I experiment with sounds/VSTis.

To use the best sounds like, your FM8, it is best, IMHO, to use a 64 bit DAW. This way you will not have to use a wrapper like jBridge, i.e. no workaround.

What I like to do is to label what preset I am using in my DAW. That way if I come back to that song and the VSTi doesn't load the correct preset I know what to look for. I don't know if you can do this in BiaB as I do not use VSTis or VSTs in BiaB. Your workflow may be different.

I hope this helps and good luck.

When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
