im still having problems with the new bb daw vst build 611
ive had the same problem since my upgrade in mid december,it cant be a problem with the daws i work with because it happens in the stand alone version
ive checked its the latest update 611 and it is and also the daw is version 1.9.19

heres what i do

open stand alone bb daw as admin
from this point on i
click the select tab in the bb daw then i click the option to select style which opens the bb stylepickker window
i then click "load song demo" this then opens the demo in the bb daw
then i click generate (i have also tried the option to generate individual tracks in the custom drop down)
this all goes ok



i then click select/select real track in the bb daw to add an extra track which opens the real track picker ,pick a track click ok

real track opens in bb daw i click the custom box to generate only the extra real track, i can only find the track in the custom/special track option.
generation of extra track starts and the blue progress bar gets nearly to the end but never actually completes if i try to do anything else like just clicking anywhere, it goes to pot, i get the windows busy circle and i have to use task manager to shut down. ive even left it generating upto half hour.

i have tried this with various styles and various real tracks also tried generating individual tracks, everytime i try to open an extra track it goes to pot.this also happens in mixcraft 8 pro and tracktion t7. bandlab.

i havent seen that this is on the list as a future fix, i honestly dont know if its me. i download the new build i install to all default folders reboot open as admin and all that stuff and run as stand alone ,i dont know what else i can do.
ive tried for help on this before but no solid response, ive tried tech support via support page but still no reply.

I can confirm this happens however I will say it doesn’t always happen.

One work around I have used is to open a second instance of the plugin and add a style that has the track or tracks you want and use those.

I have one song I just completed has one instance of the VSTi with style tracks, one additional track and multiriff tracks, and a second VSTi with Style tracks so far after stewing the solo down I have 8 track generated by BiaB VSTi. Mixed in Studio one and very sweet sounding

Am I correct that the problem does NOT ever happen if you simply select a style or demo song and press Generate?

How about if you start from a blank file, then select an individual RealTracks instrument and generate? Tip: you can right-click on the track and click Generate, rather than using the Custom menu.

yes you are correct, i pick a style to generate and there is no problem.

i have started from blank file and tried one individual track before and i have just tried it the way you described (right click generate option) and it still stalls just short of the end.
whole styles generate no problem ,its everytime i try to add an extra track or a real track on its own, the extra track always stalls the program and have to get taskmanager involved.
ive tried in all my daws and stand alone 32 bit and 64 bit, ive tried quite a few real tracks and all the same.
i have tried adding the style and then adding extra track and then generate all,again it generates all the tracks from the style but when it comes to the extra track it stalls.
tried it with just a bare C chord in the song sheet, tried with the style/ song demo chords and tried to put just a simple 12 bar progression in.
ive rebooted reinstalled checked tutorials several times and still the same.

it is always the extra track.

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."
