My question is this. I want to use Nectar 2 the Vocal Production Suite Plugin that comes with that deal not only for my recording studio but I also would like to try and use it to sing live with online. I do shows in Second Life and it would be niec to use those effects. I just wrote iZotope and they gave me the paragraph below so it is possible that I can do this. Something about Tracking Mode. I don't know what streaming tool hosts plugins. Let me know if you know of any. Or they say something about sending the output of my DAW to my streaming tool. I didn't know a DAW had an output. Anyone know about this? Where is this output located? Tell me if there is any DAW that I should buy so I can utilize it best in this situation to stream live as the iZotope statement says below.
Nectar 2 includes a feature called 'Tracking mode', which uses less CPU-intensive and low-latency processing, which you could use during a live performance. However, as Nectar 2 needs a DAW in order to be used, your streaming tool would need to be able to host Nectar as a VST plug-in. Another option would be to send the output of your DAW as an audio input to your streaming tool. That said, I unfortunately cannot further assist in configuring Nectar 2 for this setup.
ok let me know ASAP on this please. Thanks

Hi Sly
You already have a DAW - It's called RealBand. It should do most things that you might initially need.

Oh well let me know how to utilize an effects plugin to route it to a streaming tool. Read that paragraph I have on my other post that iZotope wrote me. Have you ever used a plugin's effects for Live singing? If you have let me know. Because I would love to sing live with some of these effects. And many of the presets are great for radio shows also.

The output of a DAW is usually the device's sound system. In the case of Real Band it would normally be the computer sound system, via whichever sound drivers are selected, or perhaps other output to a mixer (e.g. USB) for further processing.

Thanks Video Track for the quick replies. Well when I am in RealBand and I open up Nectar 2 my Vocal effects plugin you don't see the plugin doing anything until after you play back your vocal track you recorded. Then then it works. It isn't doing anything when I am singing it live. I would like it to have the voice waves move while I am singing. Maybe it would under what they call Tracking Mode? Then it would be on as I sing?

Hi Sly You probably have to mix the microphone first through Nectar. Someone else will chip in I'm sure. Also, there is a dedicated Forum for Real Band. You may get better advice from the RB experts from there.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
