Hi there, I looked for this but don't get the answer I'm looking for; how to load vst's into BIB 2021, it seems that the menu to do this changed.
Help anyone?

Thanks

Mike B.

Mike, if your referring to VSTi's, then I think it's done like this. Presumably you have installed the VSTi in the computer already. If I've missed the question, please advise.

Thanks, you have the right question, however, I can't seem to get it to work. When I do that it loads the VST I pick at the time which seem to remain as the "default" plugin, then I don't know how to assign it to an specific instrument.
Thank you though

Mike B.

Individual VSTs are added in the mixer I thought. see image below.

Not sure how you can assign individual VSTi's in BiaB, though it's pretty easy in Realband.
Realband comes with BiaB as free add-on.

Thanks Rharv, but that's not it. Before, one could open the plugin pull down menu and opening the "default" plugin would open a pull down window with all the previously loaded plugins allowing you to choose which one to use for a given instrument track. When you do that now it only shows the "default " plugin which is the last one one opens not giving the option to assign a track.
I'm at a loss here.

Hi Mike,

The following will load a VSTi/DXi synth for you.

Quote:
For those who read this and haven't used MIDI before, please note that the below ONLY refers to MIDI tracks. These are coloured yellow in BIAB.


1. As rharv has said, left-click on the left most "none". If a synth already shows up here, click on the synth's name. On the image below, you can see that I have "Default Synth" in this slot.

2. When the pop-up window opens, click on "Choose Plugin".

3. From the list, select the VSTi/DXi plugin that you wish to add to this track.

Quote:
NOTE
The left-most slot is for synths and the three slots to the right of it with "none" are for effects. If Realtracks are present on the track, only effect can be loaded.


Regards,
Noel

Ah, ok, now I got it! so, each vst is loaded individually as opposed to pick from the plugin pull down menu. I tried it and works fine. Thank you guys!

Hi Mike.

I'm glad it's up and running for you.

When you get a chance, would you mind going back to the first post in the thread and clicking on "Resolved"? This helps others know that the post is worth reading if they want a solution.

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.

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."
