I have recently received my 2019 Audiophile Band-in-a-Box, but I have hesitated to install due to a problem I have with my 2018 version. Although I am chomping at the bit to get the new program running, I would really like to clear this up before I install the new version.
The problem is that the Melody track is producing no sound. The notes light up in red and the volume meter in moving on the Mixer panel. All the other settings seem to be correct. This happens with any BiaB tune I select from my vast collection. I am using midi instruments and the melody instrument is normally a trombone, 'cause that is what I play. Actually, I do set that track to 'Mute' often because I use the rhythm section to play along with when I am practicing. It's almost like the Mute button for Melody is stuck on, but it is not showing as such. I have tried clicking the Mute button on and off but it makes no difference.
I do not know if this makes and difference but I should mention that I recently acquired a new computer and it had Kaspersky Internet Security installed. Every time I run the BiaB program a notice comes up which says:
"Band-in-a-Box Application run by a program with restrictions is attempting to receive audio stream
Process (PID: 9804):
E:\bb\bbw.exe
Group:
Low Restricted
Run sequence:
Band-in-a-Box Application
Allow now (This is shown in green)
Block now
Remember my choice for this sequence"
I have been clicking the Allow now box but have not ticked the "Remember my choice" box. Band-in-a-Box has been running fine for several weeks just clicking the "Allow now" green box.
I have absolutely no idea what this Kaspersky message is all about and do not know if it is associated with my problem.
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to fix my problem with the Melody track not playing. Or even if I should maybe go ahead with installing the new program and that the problem is unlikely to be passed on.
I will also mention that I am running Windows 10. My sound runs through an external Creative Sound Blaster and speakers which produce a superb sound.
As I have often said, I much prefer playing with Band-in-a-Box rather than some musicians I know. And it swings more!

Graham,
A few thoughts that might help.
1. Check what audio driver your Soundcard is using. It's probably WAS. If so, change to MME or ASIO and see if that makes a difference. (I use MME.)
2. Do you run BIAB in "Run as administrator" mode? This is recommended by PG Music. To set this mode, right-click on the startup shortcut, select 'Properties' and under the 'Compatibility' tab set the "Run as admin" option. (Note: Run As Administrator is different from logging-in into your computer as Administrator.)
3. I always exclude the \bb and \Realband directories from being checked by my antivirus software. This helps with speed and stops the AV software interfering or stopping processes.
Hope one of these thoughts help.
Regards,
Noel

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."
