If I generate tracks in the VST and press play on my DAW there is no sound coming from the track that has the VST. I can drag and drop and create the individual tracks that play just fine but the VST track is silent. I can preview them by double clicking.

Is this the expected norm or am I doing something wrong here?

By the way, when I saw this feature....wow....great idea.

Thanks PGMusic!!!!!

At the moment that's how it is but it should be fixed soon so it plays the generated track/s in sync to the DAW, they just need to do a bit more work on it to get it working good.

This don't sound good? frown Guess I will have to pay the price of a ticket to see exactly what is going on with the new BIAB-VST

I have some Instrument VSTi's and some drum VSTi's.

With some, you can preview parts, build a song to play in sync with your DAW, and drop parts to your DAW.

Other VSTi's work as you described above. You can preview and drag n drop to a track.

So yes, either way is normal.
Either way is also quicker than going into RB to generate a bunch of RT's to see which ones work together.

do you know for sure they will do this? Seems pretty lame not to play inside my DAW! How is that useful??

It just doesn't play through the VST - you must drag and drop to hear it. The files do play in the DAW.

For instance EZDrummer plays through the VST when BIABVST must be dragged on to tracks to play back.

I'm trying very, very, very hard to get this fixed ASAP!
It's a must have, it can be done ! Now it's release there will be reviews done and they can be good if fixed now !
With MutlRiffs you don't want to drag them all in and mute them all but one to playback with your DAW, you want to set the section of track in the DAW to loop play while you select a MultiRiff track in the VST to play in sync with the other DAW tracks until you find the one that fits best, THEN you drag it in the DAW.

This is an example of what the VST should be doing,
this vstplayer loads the files from the C:\bb\BBPlugin\SavedTracks current folder and plays them back in sync with the other DAW tracks giving you a preview to see if they fit correctly or generate another or preview another MultiRiff without having to load them into the DAW just to try them.

I asked them to add sync to host as at the moment you need to midi note to trigger play.
If the vstplayer can play them back from a folder surly the BiabVST can play them in sync using the DAW audio driver and not Windows Media Player.

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."
