Where is the old plugins window? It's gone.

I used it constantly. You could put vst plugins easily on any track. Kontakt, Superior drummer etc. etc. Now I'm completely lost. Each track was there and you could choose what instrument you wanted and could add effects too. Now, as far as I understand it, you can only go to preferences and choose a midi driver gm software. Bring back the old window please.

I am reverting back to 2020. I do not like this version at all. It seems rushed and clumsy. The learning curve has become a circle and you just go round and round.

Extremely disappointed.

It also seems that you must use sforzando to use midi supertracks. How so if you only have a gm synth as your default player?

Ok ..... I read the manual more and understand that you can select another vst plugin. Still think the old way was fine as it was.

Hi Mal,

It's actually easier to access individual track set up now.

To load a VST/DXi...

1. click on the "Plug-ins" tab

2. click on the appropriate [None] in the relevant tracks. These four [None] are the old positions/slots 1, 2, 3, 4 in the previous plugin window.

Individual settings are also accessed by clicking on these locations.

Regards,
Noel

Thanks Noel. I did work it out after reading the manual. Guess it'll take some time getting used to change but I'm flexible and can change habits.

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.
