614 Stand-Alone HUGE IMPROVEMENT in Rendering Time!!! #519884 01/23/19 11:11 AM Band-in-a-Box VST and Pro Tools/AAX DAW Plugin (Windows)

I then added multiriffs for the entire song and those 7 tracks rendered in 1-1/2 minutes. Again a HUGE improvement! I just wanted to congratulate PGM on their efforts and success in fixing this plugin! And I want to also thank Pipeline as well as others in this forum for tirelessly alpha/beta testing this over the past 7 weeks to help get us all to this point. I know there is more work to be done but at least for now we have a tool that improves workflow. For me it means using BIAB as I always have but then opening my songs in the stand-alone and generating multiriffs for key tracks and then mixing all exported tracks in my DAW. And if I am unable to use the rendered multiriffs I know I can pop into the stand-alone and generate 7 more in less than a couple of minutes!

Assuming you are installed to C just make a short cut. Very handy for making a quick render of a track or two to the desktop, or any windows file explorer location. Also good for making a stand alone midi file of say a midi melody track for import into other daws Mike Last edited by Mike Head; 01/23/19 11:54 AM.

That’s a full 64 bit version, separate from the 32 bit one. It can only link to 64 bit plugins and synths etc. and can use more than 2GB of memory. - 32 bit version, program name is bbw.exe (same idea as above, but 32 bit only) You can choose which one to run, they have very similar features. If you’re on a 64 bit OS, you’d likely want to run the 64 bit version, Then there is a new VST plugin. The plugin comes in various formats, but the main one we recommend is the 64 bit VST3 instrument plugin. The plugin uses a biab engine running in background that is 32bit. We will switch that to 64bit later this year, but there is little consequence to that as it is mostly just a background process. Have Fun! Peter Gannon PG Music Inc.
