hello
im a bit confused with the new bb daw, not sure about the 32 bit 64 bit thing.
can the new bb daw run inside audacity or any other 32 bit music program or does the program have to be 64 bit.
i tried the audacity software and clicked on the bb plugin from the audacity menu but nothing happened and no message came up saying anything was wrong or that bb daw was incompatable.
thanks......

You can use the Standalone version with Audacity.
If you are on a 64bit OS you can try JBridge.

thanks as always pipeline .

i tried stand alone bb daw but it crashed when i used the select tab to open a style demo option but i tried the file tab option and it opened a song demo of real tracks but wouldnt open midi tracks.
anyway once i got a song generated i dragged into audacity in seconds ...brilliant... but then as in all the other daws i have tried it went to pot when i tried to add another track.
just thought id let you know how i got on, being as you put your effort into helping me.
thanks

If you have a 32bit OS the Standalone won't run as it's 64bit.
There a new 32bit plug being tested but it's hasn't got the FX one yet that the audio only app like Audacity and Audition need, so you will need to use the new Standalone 32bit (when released in a day or so) app until the 32bit FX plug is released.

I copied it there also but it has the default C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTplugins folder, you just need to click at the top of the Effects list Add/Remove then enable it in the manager.

it keeps saying it failed to initialize when i click ok, this also happens with most other plugins.
imm googling "failed to initialize plugin audacity" at moment it must be my set set up.
its not a major problem, i was just seeing which daws the new bb daw/vst worked best with.

once again thanks for your help.

Audacity don't have MIDI Virtual Instruments so you need to choose FX, see the one above with FX in the name.
I sent you more info in a PM see that flashing red envelope at the top of this forum.

Thanks Pipeline,
I have been a longtime user of Audacity and was wondering if this was possible.

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."
