Did you not check normalize renders ?


Normalize? No. I tend to use a limiter instead.

You use a limiter to make the sound louder.

Which limiter?

Deb's waveforms look good to me. In the digital age with 24-bit and higher audio, it's better to have the waveforms a little lower than to have them clip, since there's no fixing that!

But it sounds much quieter than demo demo
What plug-in does each track use to make the sound better?
Give me some advice, thank you

Thanks Simon, I tend to keep them lower after working sound in my church. We have room issues, lots of room issues, and if I need to fix a video we shot it is a lot easier to add a bit of gain than try to fix clipping.

Off topic but we just had a sound study done. I learned a lot about sound and architecture which is a lot different then trying to get people to just hear. The room has a vaulted ceiling (only about an inch) that is causing the issue. The shortened version is that the ceiling is bouncing the sound all over the place in there.

As for the limiter, SwingBabyMix: I use the limiter that is part of the effects in Studio One. Just drop it on the stem then use their -3 db limiting default and a bit of gain.

Finish off in Studio One Project to make sure everything is about right for me. Lots of videos out there on how to use Project.

I never got a handle on normalization. I should sit down and learn it.

This workflow works for me.

I don't know what exact plugins were used, but the demos were likely run through an EQ and a Limiter.

We don't have any release date for the next update to the VST plugin - however, keep an eye out for the main BIAB updates even if that update doesn't have a new plugin. The plugin relies on the Band-in-a-Box app, so improvements to the main app can sometimes mean improvements to the plugin itself even without a new plugin version.

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."
