I think the plugin will be great with BiaB 2019. I always hated to get out of my DAW and go get another reworking of the song. It will make it so much easier to work with what I play and what Biab furnishes. Have it ordered and waiting on the drive.

ps Unless and until a new forum is created, comments and questions about the VST Plugin would probably be better in the main BIAB for Windows Forum.

Please post here when the link is working.

Many thanks.

Hi folks.
I was among first people to cheer when VST was anounced.
The stability issues did not bother me much, as I understand it is initial release and abnormal things will "happen"

However, what saddened me is that when you open previously arranged composition SGU from BIAB in VST, it drops all the bar changes, rests, stops, pushes...pretty much stripping everything but chord sheet and green/blue markers...


I think the pride of BIAB comes from motto that everything is "tweakable"...if this is the right way to put it.

Maybe my VST plugin version has bugs, that is why it does not import bar changes, etc through VST...

Not really sure what to think of it. Would appriciate a comment or two.

Thank you!

I'm sorry (but not surprised) to hear this. I recall being disappointed to discover that Realband dropped things from tracks when opening a BIAB song (I think frozen status is ignored if I recall correctly).

When you make a new product that uses your files, whose format you control completely, you should not drop out settings or things like this.

Rustyspoon, I don’t recall seeing this reported. I’ll pass it along to the developers to study further.

Yes, an AAX version of the plugin is included.

VST DAW plugin (Win 10) does not function correctly as described; https://www.pgmusic.com/support.bbplugin.htm

44.1khz & 48khz sessions - would also appreciate more detailed info about sample rate support for the plug.

ProTools 2018.12 Ultimate: AAX plug is correctly installed & scanned: ProTools cannot find or load the plug at all.

Nuendo 8.3: exactly as per ProTools (above). Does not load.


Cubase 10: loads plug, but many failings contrary to the advertised features, eg:
- does not pick up the DAW tempo & so can only be set manually (real locked sync, doubtful);
- after rendering tracks, does not output sound at all, has no preferences for routing sound though the DAW main bus etc. (sample rate related?)
- Does drag & drop files to the timeline, but the tempo sync tends to drift over time.

Ableton Live Studio 10: exactly as per Cubase (above).

Finally, why is this a VST2 plug? that format development now discontinued by Steinberg. Surely in 2018 this should have been released as a VST3 plug, not the least of which should have been more success with routing MIDI, tempo and the rest.

Looking forward to this plugin being fixed and fully operational in the near future: was the only real reason I paid the upgrade price for BiaB 2019.

VST DAW plugin (Win 7 Enterprise) does not function correctly as described; https://www.pgmusic.com/support.bbplugin.htm

Purchased Band in A Box 2019: upgraded for two main reasons:

1. the ability to play 6/8 time. Now I could be wrong, but it seems to me that the 6/8-time signature is still being truncated. It is not a true 6/8-time signature because each bar still adds up to 4 beats -as in previous versions.

2. To be able to use Band in A Box in my DAW (Pro Tools 12).

ProTools HD 12.5: Unable to see anything related to Band In A Box in the Pro Tools plugins: AAX plug is correctly installed & scanned: ProTools cannot find or load the plug at all.

Have now spent many hours trying to get this plugin to work only to discover from the Forums that there is an obvious problem.
I have been using Band in a Box for as long as I can remember – without many issues. However, the two issues outlined above suggest that this software upgrade is not being delivered as promised.

The DAW option was a major deciding factor for me to purchase this rather expensive upgrade and I am seriously thinking about asking for a refund unless this can be rectified soon. This is a major deal breaker for me and I am very disappointed.

How to re-scan AAX plug-ins for Pro Tools
Windows (sorry Mac users)
Navigate to:
Pro Tools 10: Program Files (x86)\Avid\Pro Tools\DAE\DAE Prefs
Pro Tools 11 and above: \Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Avid\Pro Tools
Delete the file:
Pro Tools 10: Installed plug-ins
Pro Tools 11 and above: InstalledAAXPlugins
Re-open Pro Tools

There is a beta being tested to fix the the AAX not being found in ProTools.
Genuine 6/8 and with the Biabplugin now it is needed to match the DAW's time signature changes.
You really need to hang in there as mentioned as there is a lot going on behind the scenes.

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."
