I just placed an order for BiaB 2021. While I'm waiting for the hard disk to arrive, I'd like to get my old BiaB 2014 running. You see, today I received a new midi controller. It's a re.corder by Artinoise. I get to the point in this video: https://youtu.be/THKC6FvvrTw where he says 'just play some notes on the midi controller and you should see it show up on the piano in BiaB'. And the notes do indeed show up on the piano. But there is no sound.

I've tried various things in the midi / audio driver setup dialog, but when I hit OK the program crashes:

I have to correct myself. There actually is some sound, it's just too faint to hear. If I blow really hard I can hear a faint note. I'm looking in to that.

It sounds like it's connected, but there is an issue with the volume/velocity at some point along the chain. I'm unfamiliar with your particular MIDI device. Check if there are volume settings on the device itself, and also check that the volume faders are not turned down in your Band-in-a-Box mixer.

Best,
Chantelle

What are you using for recording input? The computer microphone??
What recording driver are you using?

You will be needing a Audio Device (generally an external USB module with ASIO drivers) along with a proper microphone to record your re.corder. Anything other than that will be less than satisfactory due to latency. Something like this...
