So I don't normally add plugins to the channels in BIAB, because I usually transfer tracks into my DAW and do what I'd like from there. However, I'm working on a project where I'd rather just dump down a stereo mix right from BIAB to keep my track count down.
So I have a couple of guitar tracks set to direct output, and I went to put Amplitube on it, and I hit "Chose plugin" and it just freezes. Task manager doesn't say that it's stopped responding: for all intents and purposes, it appears that the program is still functioning correctly to Windows. However, BIAB is COMPLETELY frozen. I have to end it in task manager then reopen it. But it freezes up every time I attempt to add a plugin.

Each mixer track has four plugin slots. Slot 1 (far left) is normally reserved for the default Band-in-a-Box MIDI sound module. If you are placing Amplitude in Slot 1 that conflict maybe why BiaB is freezing.
Try adding plugins to slot 2, 3 or 4.

I have to end it in task manager then reopen it. But it freezes up every time I attempt to add a plugin. If it's not showing as unresponsive, it could be that the choose plugin window has popped open but for some reason is hidden. You can try hitting alt and tab to tab through your different windows, and if this is the case, you may see another BIAB window that's open. Alt+Tabbing to it would bring that window to the front, and then once you finish with it and/or close it, then BIAB should be fully accessible again.
Cheers,
Ember

My current version is BIAB audiophile 2022 (918). The newest one as of now.
So I bypassed the first slot, as was suggested, and the same thing happens: As soon as I hit "Choose plugin" it stops responding to anything. It still hasn't crashed, according to the task manager, but it is COMPLETELY unresponsive to anything. And there are no hidden windows. I've checked.
It is a frustrating glitch.
And if anyone is wondering, my system has a Ryzen 5900x processor with 32GB of RAM.

Air.
more details please.
when this occurs are you running bb 32 bit or bb 64 bit.
if your running bb 64 bit and your plug ins are older..
try them in bb 32 bit...and report back.
now caveat i might be wrong , i just have a suspicion of what the prob might be.
also..please detail the name of the plugs your trying to use...so their specs can be looked up.
here with my bb 2022/918 if i'm useing older plug ins
i use bb 32 bit.
i have some really old vst plug ins i like a lot..
from computer music mag uk.....
so i use bb 32 bit for them.
ps what is your daw the plug ins work flawlessly in ?
ymmv/hth

I run BIAB 64-bit. However, And I believe it's only searching the 64-bit VST folder. I'll have to double-check that.

Yes. It still locks up any time I hit "Choose plugin" from the drop-down menu. Totally frozen.
And I updated to v. 920 as well. No change.

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."
