The default plugins are missing? #516351 01/08/19 06:33 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

I have JBridge and a few of my own plugins but I was wondering how to get those others back as I used them a lot when making my quick demos in BB. Thanks

There is a thread about that somewhere and I was advised of the by some of the folks here to check it out. It needed to be a value of 110 not 0 I found that file under bb:data. I clicked on it and changes the number and saved and closed now my TTS works. Might be the same with other DX plugs.

If so, these are 32-bit DX plugins and, as such, do not work in BIAB 64. They should be there in the 32-bit of BIAB (2019). MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2025 audios on Soundcloud

This makes me wonder if maybe the free version of Cakewalk/Sonar from Bandlab has free 64 plugins that could be useful in BIAB. Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2025 audios on Soundcloud

(replace C: with whatever drive you have the BiaB files on) Maybe try running the file pgdx_plug_2_0_0.exe This is the DX FX installer .. if they are truly missing this may make them reappear. I've had to do this before, but only because someone accidentally removed them. DX plugins are registered with the operating system, so the Run as Administrator option may be needed (right click the file and Run as Administrator) Just an idea so you know they are installed. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
