I'm a new user so I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions - can't seem to get the tech support people to answer a phone call, but there you go.
I can build a song in the BB program, but I can't seem to load that song in the Logic plugin when I open my Logic DAW. It seems the only files that I can choose from in the Logic plugin and files generated inside that plugin. The plugin won't read the files from my UltraPak BB hard drive. Is there a way to move a completed song from the BB external hard drive into the Logic plugin?
Ed.

Hello Ed,
When you say it won't read your files, what exactly is happening? Do you not see the files when you go to File - Open? You should be able to load in Band-in-a-Box song files into the Band-in-a-Box DAW plugin. Do you have version 1.16.29 of the plugin? (check by going to File - Prefs - About).

Yessir - I've got that version. Ok, here's what I'm doing - and mind you, I'm a new user so this may be frustrating for you -
I write a song in BB UltraPak 2019 for Mac the version with the external hard drive. I hit "save" and name it and all that. So I think it's going to be there forever. I don't close BB, I just minimize it down to the dock, so it's still running.
Then I open Logic and pull up the BB DAW plugin. When I go to "file-open" or "open recent" in the plugin, the song that I just made in the external hard drive is not listed. The plugin doesn't have it.
Last night I just started over and entered all the song info using the plugin window that pops up in logic. It's a pain because the window is so small (I can expand the chord chart, but not the plugin window itself) and the plugin doesn't seem to have all the features that I find in the regular BB hard drive. They may be there, but hidden somewhere, but I'm not seeing the tool bars that I have in the external drive version. Now that I've entered all the info into the plugin, it DOES show up in the "open file" option.
I'd like to be able to at work with something in the plugin that I created in BB outside of the plugin without having to start from scratch inside the plugin and recreate the song again. Does the plugin not share files with the BB external hard drive?
Ed.

The win version had a similar issue but was fixed with an update. You can try it in MiniHost or if you have JBridge try it in PliginFlipFlop, both of these you just load them then load the Biab Plugin into them.

Then I open Logic and pull up the BB DAW plugin. When I go to "file-open" or "open recent" in the plugin, the song that I just made in the external hard drive is not listed. The plugin doesn't have it. I have the feeling that you are just looking in a different location than you saved the file. The Open/Save dialog is just the standard Mac dialog that lets you open and save a file from any location on your computer, and both the plugin and full application can see .SGU and .MGU files (Band-in-a-Box songs). I suggest that in the full Band-in-a-Box program, when you save your file, save it on your Desktop even if just for testing purposes, and that way there is no confusion as to where the file is. The file will normally be saved as a .SGU or .MGU file, and you should see it on your desktop.
