I can't use a vst 3 plugin in RealBand. It's not because it's 64 bit becuase the same plugin won't work in BIAB 64 bit either.
I've posted in the wishlist but wondered if anyone can tell me why it won't work and is it horrendously difficult for PG Music to get vst3's to work?
I'm sure i can survive without vst3 plugins on what i have but i do like to try alternatives so i get the best result according to my ears and i've come unstuck with a WAVES plugin i liked the look of.
thanks pipeline but i'm lost as to how to use elements even trying to understand the short video in your post
is elements a 'wrapper' that i load first then load the plug in to that? i've followed the link to the elements site and that's what it seems to suggest but the demo in your post suggests i need to use the BIAB plugin
i'm trying to keep things simple and just stay in RB. i'm willing to give it a go but before i do this is what i will try so stop me if i'm going to go wrong (please!)
dwnload elements add elements as i would any other vst when elements is loaded, laod the WAVES plugin in elements and then proceed as normal
or will i come unstuck as RB is 32 bit and needs the 64 bit BIAB plugin first?
You don't need Biab Plugin, that was just a VST3 that I dragged in as an example. Just load the 64bit KV_ElementFX.dll (if you have JBridge) into the RealBand audio track, now drag n drop the waves plugin into the Element, click the View button in the top right to show the connections view, now you have an Audio Input drag the first 2 green connections to to the first 2 connection on the waves plugin, now drag the 2 output connections to the Audio Output.
If you want to chain vsts then just connect the output of one to the input of the other. If you "Save Group" when done you just "Load Group" next time.
You can drag them in from the Windows folders or you can scan for Plugins in the Plugin Manger in Element.

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.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
