RE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT OF BIAB AS A PLUG IN USED IN A HOST DAW.
due to a thread on here i was recently involved in where i was trying to help a user new to biab and other threads in the past ive seen on use of the biab plug in a host daw (eg cake/tools/reaper/cubase/mixcraft/studio 1 and other daws etc etc.) ..
i would like to know /have clarified the rules of engagement of loading up the biab plug in, in a host daw. because as an ex-tech i'm kinda confused myself on this subject so i'm sure some new users will be also.
i feel some CLARITY is needed on this subject as follows... 1. in the host daw are there any bit depth and or sampling rates that might mean a crash/problem could occur useing bb plug in ? and in the host daw are there any other factors that could cause a crash situatio eg some daws like reaper allow recording to flac and other formats. in addition should a daw always be set to asio drivers ? reason i ask is i notice one pg vid shows daw set to waveout. IN SUMMARY WHAT SETTINGS IN A HOST DAW COULD PRECIPITATE THE BB PLUG IN NOT WORKING OR A CRASH SITUATION ? WHAT SHOULD THE HOST DAW BE SET TO ? DOES IT MATTER ? 2 the users external (eg usb) sound device. modern sound devices are useing asio and are controlled by a IN SOFTWARE ON SCREEN USER CONTROL PANEL OFTEN. with various settings like bit depth/sampling rate/buffer and other settings possibly. once again i ask.... WHAT SETTINGS IN A MODERN SOUND DEVICE USER CONTROL PANEL COULD PRECIPITATE THE BB PLUG IN NOT WORKING OR A CRASH SITUATION ? WHAT SHOULD THE CONTROL PANEL BE SET TO ? DOES IT MATTER ? 3. in pg's software products themselves (eg biab or realband )i ask..... WHAT SETTINGS IN PREFERENCES COULD PRECIPITATE BIAB NOT WORKING OR A CRASH SITUATION ? 4. and in windows itself in its sound device settings .... ARE THERE ANY SETTINGS THAT COULD PRECIPITATE BIAB NOT WORKING OR A CRASH SITUATION ?. 5. finally are there any other situations/settings that i havent mentioned where the end user of a pg product might come across a problem or a crash situation ?
the reason i'm asking for clarity regarding the above is every year there are many new user posts through the year relating to settings issues often. and user problems. i DO realise this is not unique to pg ; and one can see same issues being raised on various recording and gear manufacturer forums. i also realise its a complex subject. thus how about pg make some vids to show the best settings approaches ? in closing as an example of one issue ...as biab likes 44.1/16... IS IT SAFEST TO SET EVERYTHING AT 44.1/16 ? ie the asio external (eg usb) sound device and the host daw and windows ? i really believe CLARITY is needed regarding this subject.
best and thanks in advance. oldmuso

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."
