I upgraded to BIAB 2019 Win UltraPak (rather expensive all-in-all), primarily for the features advertised in the VST DAW plugin. It does not work as is should, and really, dev should hold until this is actually ready and works as advertised. Further - as others have noted on this forum - the installation and operation on various DAW platforms should be fully documented beyond the rather dreadful, single video from a Presonus Studio fan ...

In my case here: a professional studio doing film and audio work, using various sample rates per project, and using various DAWs, RME UFX+ audio interface, RME ADI-8, ASIO, Thunderbolt, UAD PCIe, many VSTis and VSTs etc. Issues to date include:

ProTools Ultimate 2018.10: Cannot find the BiBA AAX plugin at all; does not recognise it (of course, is installed correctly, in the right location).

Nundeno 8.3: Exactly as per Pro Tools, cannot find the plug or show in plug list to instantiate on a VSTi track.

Cubase 9.5 or 10: This ne finally sees the BAIB plugin and loads, but the plug will not play sound or do anything of use; tracks have been generated

Ableton Live: cannot find plug.

I also suspect there may be issues with sample rates, eg: it would appear that BIAB standalone cannot run in any other sample rate than 44.1khz [?] In any case, many of my sessions run at other sample rates & in particular, at 48khz for film work. Surely in 2018, BIAB might be able to adjust its clock correctly [?]

Hopeless. Am expecting a working update and proper documentation, hopefully before BIAB 2020? In the future, will be far more careful before wasting money on PG Music products.
