Dan,
OK my first impression was right. You are going about the virtual driver the wrong way. First off get rid of loopbone and download MIDIYOKE. Much better. I've used it for years. Once installed it'll show as a driver in BIAB. Now you need to use another program as a host. I used to use Sonar. In Sonar set up 2 midi tracks. One track will host Coyote Forte. Set it's input to receive on all channels. The audio out of the Forte to your sound card.
In the 2nd track have it receive on the channel that you've set in the "Chords Output" in BIAB. For this track choose the VLT as the output device. A little complex if your not real up to speed on hosting but it works well.
If you don't have Sonar I'll check out how it works with RB as a host. If you do have Sonar I may be able to set up a template to send you.

Once again use RB, as it has the same flashing chords screen that BiaB does. You can use the actual chords screen, or use the big lyrics window and it will display the chords there.

Thank God the weekend is here. I have been thinking long and hard during the week on all the options. Very thankful to all who have contributed. I now have a plan -

John - like you said a little complex and I am operating at the limits of my comprehension now so I would like to avoid new stuff at this time if I can. Although, never say never.


Robh - Don't make me say it again, no RB for me. However, pigs may fly someday.

Josie - I do believe you get the golden ticket. You picked up on the fact that I almost exclusively use a single melody midi track and then all RTs cmbined wiht the fat taht I only plan to sing on a couple songs, so your option to creaste a single audio of the midi melody sounded best. I did a quick test and looks like it will indeed work. However, the render Midi track to audio does not follow the conditons of teh arrangemetn set up in F5 - just plays over entire song. So I will have to do some editing to get the melody only over selected verses.

Thanks much folks. I will test out more this weekend.

Easy - just use all RealStyles instead of midi styles during the gig. Set up midi to send to VLT and voila. No?

Ok, I tried. lol

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."
