I am using Cubase 10, the latest version 1.10.4 of the VST plugin and BIB build 614
Problem 1
=======
When I click in the VST plugin on the play button I can hear music but I am not able to control the volume of the music in the Cubase mixer.
It seems that the plugin itself don't uses for playing the Cubase audio channels it uses his own output but there is no possiblity to control the volume in the plugin.
Why is the audio output not routed to Cubase?
Problem 2
=======
It is possible to drag&drop all created audio tracks at once from the VST plugin into the DAW.
Why is this not possible for the corresponding midi tracks, they have to be copied individually?
For them it should also be possible to drag&drop them at once from the VST plugin into the DAW.
Problem 3
=======
If I drag&drop all created audio tracks at once from the VST plugin into the DAW I got the question
if I want them all in one track in the DAW or if I want them in individual tracks.
This question is in my opinion not needed because
if I drag&drop all created audio tracks at once I want for sure to have them in individual tracks in the DAW
otherwise I would only drag&drop the master track from the VST plugin into the DAW.
It would be good to remove that question or if not possible at least having a checkbox in the options which I can tick which says "always create individual tracks in case of drag&drop all created audio tracks at once" .

Problem 1 Why is the audio output not routed to Cubase? At this time that would be apparently by design. PGM has indicated that this will change and sound will go through DAW in future updates. Problem 2 Why is this not possible for the corresponding midi tracks, they have to be copied individually? I don't believe that is the case with Reaper. But I can tell you that there is a newer build being worked on now which give a lot more midi love. Stay tuned it has been in beta testing for about a week so should release soon. There doesn't appear to be a question here

At the moment it plays the generated tracks in the Saved Tracks folder with the default windows audio device, but that will be fixed in a future release to play through the DAW in sync with the DAW.

Good suggestion will post that in the Pre-Release forum.

This is the DAW asking not the Plugin so look in your DAW settings if there is an option.

I think the midi question is related to the option of creating a Type 1 or Type 2 midi file. Type 1 puts all midi parts on the same track while Type 2 is individual tracks. Real Band for example spells that out when you import a multitrack midi file. If it's a Type 1 file it asks if you want the file to import on to individual tracks.

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."
