Greetings o wise ones!
Something seems to have glitched when I upgraded from 2011 to 2014 version.
Although in Explorer I can see (4) AmpliTube3 files with the following extensions:
AmpliTube3.app.pak
AmpliTube3.dll
AmpliTube3.pak
AmpliTube3.vpa
and finally (1) called libsndfile-1.dll.
There is also an uninstall folder with an uninstall.exe inside.

Biab only sees the two .dll files and if I try to load it I get three error messages:
1. Program can't start because libiomp5md.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
2. Can't load C:\Program Files\IK Multimedia\AmpliTube3\AmpliTube3.vpa
3. C:\Program Files\IK Multimedia\AmpliTube3\AmpliTube3.dll is not a valid plugin! Note that only 32 bit plugins can be used (not 64 bit)

I'm anxious what will happen if I run the uninstall....not sure where to reinstall from. The upgrade came with six rather large files one is called hi-q_instruments_sampletank_01-02.exe.

Don't know which way to go at this point

Dan,

Did you install Amplitube to the default folder or did you choose a custom folder?

Also, does your computer have a 64-bit operating system or a 32-bit operating system?

Regards,
Noel

OK I ended up uninstalling and getting the VST version from the IK Multimedia website and it's working now.

It's giving me 9 days to Authorize then it asks for a serial number. I recall from the BiaB install notes that you can safely ignore some of the warnings that pop up when you run AmpliTube. But I can't remember if this is one of them?

Guess I'll find out in about 9 days

Log into your IK Multimedia account and you will find your serial number there.

ok got it, thanks jford. Apparently I wound up with Custom Shop Free but that's okay too. As long as it works in Biab/Rb.

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
