Here's a dropbox link with 2 different short BB songs trials. These are the only ones I've tried to import so far. Neither are working, although they play fine in standalone mode.
Also, within Studio One I can instantiate BB Plugin but nothing works; opening Style Picker does open it, and I can go through the motions of selecting one, but nothing loads.


Thanks. Sorry for the delay, I did download and test the files earlier and was able to test them on a few machines including one with Studio One running the plugin (though it wasn't an M1). They did open in my testing. I don't think this issue is specific to those files, and it sounds like you can't even load in demo songs from the StylePicker... is that correct?

You said earlier that the you tried in the "standalone" version. I had assumed you meant the "standalone DAW Plugin" but now that I re-read and re-think this post, I think you were talking about the regular Band-in-a-Box program.

The standalone plugin is the same as the one that you access through your DAW, however it is literally just a standalone app that runs by itself. It is therefore useful for troubleshooting, since it removes all of the variables associated with the DAW. You can find it it the Band-in-a-Box folder in /BBPlugin/Files/Band-in-a-Box DAW Plugin Standalone.app. Open the app and:

1. Double-check that the folder locations in File | Preferences, and make sure that the Band-in-a-Box path is in fact pointing to your valid Band-in-a-Box 2022 folder (e.g. /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/)

BTW, is your Band-in-a-Box folder on your internal Mac HD, or is it on a removable hard drive?

2. Open the StylePicker and click Rebuild.

After doing that, can you now load in a demo song from the StylePicker? If so, it should also work within Studio One, as it will use the same settings...
