When I generate a song in the plug in, I press play and no sound.

I then go to the wee cog symbol and a box appears with midi and audio although nothing is in the audio box.

any help on this thanks

beatmaster,

Check the preferences to make sure that they are pointing to the correct locations for RTs, RDs, etc.

Regards,
Noel

I can drag them to the daw and they all play fine , I would just love to be able to try out, change key, tempo etc before dragging .

Also I can hear a preview when selecting a style double clicking on it.

I see... I interpreted you post as meaning that nothing was generated. Thanks for the extra info.

Thanks Paul

Do you mean the wee square boxes are filled in as they do when you generate ?.

the left hand track name column.

i found if any of the tracks that hadnt been generated in this case the tracks in the yellow highlighted box were not knowingly selected it wouldnt play.
i found i had to select a track that had generated (red highlighted box).

so in a nutshell i had to select either the master track name(left hand column) for the whole song to play or an individual track for single track to play.

if nothing was selected it wouldnt play.

obviously it might not be same problem for you but i thought i would mention it.

Hi Guys,

I seem to have the same problem in Ableton Live 9. Live plays fine itself. Biab Plugin generates tracks fine too and I can drag tracks and they will play in Live. But any playback or preview/demo from within the plugin is silent. I would be happy for some help.

Hi beatmaster, getting playback from the plugin in a DAW often times has to do with DAW specific settings as well as settings in your audio devices. For instance, to get playback in Studio One, you need to open the Options dialog under the "Studio One" tab, select the "Audio Setup" tab and then the "Audio Device" tab under that, and then you can check the box that says "Release audio device in background". You should also open the Playback Devices dialog in Windows (this can be done by right-clicking the speaker icon on your task bar and selecting "Playback Devices"), navigate to the "Preferences" by right-clicking on the desired device, and under the "Advanced" tab, deselecting the option to "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device". Once you have done this you should be able to get playback from your plugin. Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated!

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."
