Marcus, there mucst be some other issue at play, because the plugin works fine for us and other users in both Reaper and PreSonus (and other DAWS). If the plugin shows up, that's a gppd sign, and if its not generating, perhaps the folders are not set correctly - check the settings (preferences) in the plugin. For example, have you selected a style, and does the stylepicker show up?

> charlieMcG: Loading a previously made SGU file and using FL Studio 20.1, Windows 10 and the plugin. Highlighting all chords by holding left mouse button and dragging over all chords then pressing Ctrl+C on my keyboard crashes FL Studio 20.1.

Glad to hear that you got it working in FL Studio. Not sure what that issue is you're having with Ctrl-C, but best to avoid that for now, and let us know if you have any other issues with FL-Studio.

Yes I can pick a style...it starts to generate...gets about a tenth the way done then the blue bar disappears (goes back to the beginning).

If I try to play it ...it says the tracks haven’t generated yet.

As the VSTi is not passing audio to the DAW, there is no way to control the output volume within the VSTi.

Would like to see an Output Knob(and Meter).

I can get the plug to generate tracks from a style in both studio one, and reaper. Then that’s where it all goes south. Nothing seems to work after that. No multiriff no swapping out tracks in the plugin.

On one test changed out a extra piano track for a vocal ahh/ooh and that actually worked. But one style failed to generate one of the instruments and I could not get it to regenerate the track.

I love the way this is going, but it is still buggy for me.

all of the above is happening here too - with the addition it also slows down the entire OS!

That's exactly the issue that I'm having.

Comforting to know I'm not the only one, I've seen folk with various other issues, but you're the first I've seen to describe this same issue.

Here's what I sent to support regarding the issue just so you know that you are not completely alone, and to perhaps identify some common element that maybe a cause. So it may work for other users but clearly not ALL of them.

Quote:

Operating System: Windows 10
Other OS: build 17763.194
Computer: Asus Prime Z370 based Generic PC
Processor: Intel Core i5 8600k
Memory (RAM): 16Gb
Sound Card: Roland UA-55 Quad Capture
MIDI Synth: N/A
MIDI Interface: N/A

MIDI Input Driver: Impact LX25+ (Keyboard)
MIDI Output Driver (selected): loopMIDI
MIDI Output Drivers (all) Varies
DXi/VSTi synth: Yes
MME/ASIO: MME. Both WAS and ASIO cause issues.

Problem or Question:
Band-in-a-Box DAW VST Plugin does not generate any audio files.

I have loaded the VST into various DAW Hosts, Studio One 4, Reason 10, Sonar 8.5 and Savihost.

Whenever I try to generate files loaded into the plugin or created within the plugin and select any of the generate options the plugin starts the process, indeed it creates a folder in Drive:\bb\BBPlugin\SavedTracks, then after a few seconds the generate process stops without any error message and the newly created folder remains empty. Midi data gets saved as numbered midi file e.g; 5.mid but no Audio data.

Some (not inconsiderable) steps I've tried to rectify the issue include changing (then changing back) various folder and app permissions, uninstalling AV protection, enabling on board sound, instead of and as well as my Roland interface, re-installing WMP as I usually use MPC-BE as my default player, as well as various other tweaks all to no avail.

Any further help would be appreciated.


And before anyone gleefully points out the report applies to plugin version 1.5.8 it equally applies to 1.7.11.

Sorry, Peter but I can't resist. On Hee Haw a guy goes to the doctor and says, "Doc, it's hurts when I do this." The doctor looks at him and says, "Well, don't do that!"

Thanks, but I wasn’t correcting the typo. I was saying I agree with THIS. I’will be clearer in the future.

Jonbouy, your info you sent to support includes "Midi synth N/A". You have to select a synth even if it's just the Coyote Wavetable otherwise no midi will be generated. And I'm not sure if "Loopmidi" is an output driver.

loopMidi is a virtual cable setup, I can create ports on the fly, I've also got a couple of primal hardware midi ports via the Roland interface, so not applicable seemed the only honest reply.

Once or twice I've flipped the wrong switch but that's not what is happening here.

Thank you.

Thanks Peter,

Since the latest update 607, the Plugin does now show up in Sonar/Cakewalk plugin manager as a VST3i which it did not before the current patch.

You say you have it working in Cakewalk/Bandlab 2018.11 build 25
This does not help me since I have a fully functioning Sonar X3 Producer (X3e Build 352) - x64 running Win 7 Professional

Have you actually tested it on Sonar X3 Producer?

Perhaps you could suggest what settings I might need to make to run this plugin successfully?

I agree with this, a list of pre-requisites for the plugin to run successfully, it would help, as well as some plain reading error reporting (via exit codes on initiated actions maybe) to offer clues as to what might have gone wrong when things do go pear-shaped.

Who knows? It may even help narrow some issues down quicker at the same time.

duh?


I wasn’t correcting anything that anybody wrote.

I was simply saying that I (AND MATT) agreed with the sentiment in the previous post. The purpose of the quotes around the PHRASE "what he said" was meant as a term of "agreement" (i.e., that we, Matt and myself, agree with… WHAT HE SAID, “he” being the previous poster.

I make so many typo’s I would/will never try to correct anyone else’s typing, grammer, spelling, ….

My left hand “one-finger” typing on a PC keyboard almost always beats my right hand “two-finger” typing a lot - so I get a lot of reversed letters and articles of speech, and small pronouns (he, it,) and verbs (is,be) OUT OF ORDER or dropped completely and I hit “post” too fast (I'm a SLOPPY internet poster and email sender) so that’s why I would never attempt to correct minor typos (unless total meaning is 180 out) – there’s probably some typos/mistakes here now -LOL


Boy did I drag this way off topic - sorry folsk

My experiences with BiaB and the VSTi.

The good:
1-Both the 32 and 64 bit versions of BiaB work fine.
2-The VSTi now loads into my Studio One Pro 4 and does not crash it.

The not so good VSTi info (note this is with the 607 update - I just DLed 608 and will get to it at a later date - This info is based on the MIDI side of the VSTi with no RTs):
1-Not all tracks generate. Some are blank until the last chord.
2-The playback in the VSTi is scrambled. It is like the entire band had to much weed or alcohol. But the playback is fine once the tracks are dragged and dropped into the DAW. Note I have checked the usual suspects like sample rate and all is OK.
3-Why when working in MIDI does the VSTi generate wavs? There should be an option for that.
4-If the VSTi has to generate wavs for some reason why not put the purge button on the main GUI so a dummy like me doesn't forget and load my C:/ drive with stuff I'll never use.
5-Having to drop the MIDI files to my DAW one at a time. Why not a master like there is for the wavs?

Maybe 608 has fixed some of these problems, don't know yet.

Although I can't use the VSTi yet I do appreciate all of the work that the PGMusic team is putting into this.

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."
