Posted By: Termitter Can i use plugin in realtime? - 05/31/19 05:35 PM
I have my audio tracks in DAW (Cakewalk). Now i'd like to add some accompanimet. Can i do this on the fly? I mean, i build some accords progression in plugin (BAIB) and pres play button. BAIB starts to play, and simultaneously my DAW play its own tracks. If i dont like some chord, i press Stop, change it and press play again. So i can hear my changes in general project.
As far as i see now, i should press Generate, drag generated audio in DAW and press Play. If smth wrong, i stop playing, change chord in BAIB, generate another version of BAIB tracks, again drag an drop into DAW and listen project again.

Main task - to listen BAIB styles simultanously with DAW tracks. The best and quickest way to pick a most suitable style. Is it possible. May be it depends of name of DAW?

Thanks

Best I can advise is to view the Pipeline videos.

I think this shows the VST doing what you describe, but it may not be what you want.

Termitter,

Welcome to the forum and to Band-in-a-Box.

First, make sure you have version 1.14.2. Prior versions did not use the DAW audio but V1.14.2 does use the DAW audio.

Every DAW has its own way to manage audio output so the steps to get the daw and plugin audio to sync up differs from daw to daw. As suggested, the Pipeline videos are hard to beat.
