Sometimes when i try to use plugins in BIAB - my sampler popup with a warning about memory getting low. Is it the BIABs program memory it self that is to low for such popups? When i do the same in my DAW i do not get these warnings., the same plugins works fine there.

I think is it likely caused by BIAB loading RealTracks into RAM as they regenerate. Your DAW only needs to run audio files from disk (unless you are doing non-destructive edits).

Maybe bring up the Windows Task Manager and monitor your RAM as you run plugins in BIAB to see what happens.

How much RAM is in your system? If you are using Windows 32-bit, you only have around 3.2 GB to start with. If you have Windows 64-bit AND BIAB 2015, the new version supports using additional RAM for plugins using their special version of JBridge. So tell us more about your system specs.

Thanks Matt!

My system have 8 GB Ram. Windows 8.1 64 bit system., but i use the J-bridge.

I do not know what " bring up the Windows Task Manager and monitor my RAM as i run plugins in BIAB " really means yet, but i will check if i can found about that. My computer knowledge is still pretty low.

I get that also, look for auxhost64.exe (jbridge) in the task manager, right click on your taskbar> Start Task Manager> list it by Process then click on Memory to bring the greedy ones to the top and see what is using it.

Ok, now i got it about the Task Manger... it shows Band-in-a Box Aplication (32 bit), when i got the Background Warning about memory getting low., but when i use the same plugin in my DAW (Cubase 7.5) i do not get the Background Warning about memory getting low.

The jbrige do not show up in the task manager, but i think that i´ts because i use BIAB 2014 for the moment. My 2015 version is on service for the moment. However, the Background Warning about memory getting low, pops up when using BIAB 2015 also.

Do not know much about computers, but for me it seems to be som kind of memory in the program(s) it/them self?, because the plugn(s) work in my Daw, but not in BIAB., such as one program do not have enough memory, but the other program seems to have enough memory., on the same computer. When i use the plugins in BIAB, the program stop working. When i use the the same plugins in my Daw, it works fine. Such as my computer seems to have needed memory to run the plugins., but not BIAB?

Maybe it´s that the memory usage is higher with BIAB + plugin, than with DAW + same plugin., i do not know., have to explore that more, to see if i can figure out more about that.

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

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."
