When opening my saved BIAB song with the DAW plugin via Logic Pro X (10.6.3), all the REAL TRACKS are blank until I click the "Generate" button. I get that.


But once the tracks generation has completed, the DAW plugin is playing a "DIFFERENT"arrangement from the one that is saved in the source BIAB song file itself.

How can I get the DAW plugin to playback the BIAB saved file version instead of a "different"arrangement everytime I load the file into the DAW plugin???

BTW, in the saved BIAB file, yes...all the REAL TRACKS are "frozen" so why is the DAW plugin insisting on outputting a new arrangement instead of playing back what is saved in the source BIAB saved file???

PLEASE HELP!!!!

LPG, welcome to the forum. This because the plugin can’t see what’s in BiaB, it only sees the RTs from the folder, and then regenerates them. If you want the exact frozen tracks from BiaB you would need to drag them to the drag box (upper left corner of the tool bar in BiaB) and then from there drag them to logic. This assures you to get the frozen tracks.

The plugin is a work in progress, and every feature in BiaB has not, and may not ever be implemented. It was intended to create tracks in the DAW similar to BiaB without all the complications. While it can natively open a BiaB song file it can’t read every BiaB option. Here are some videos to help do what you want.

I hope that helps

Thanks for this really helpful info.

How can I drag all the real tracks to the drop zone at one time so I can load them all into Logic at one time???

The "COMBO"button that is used in the videos you shared, that button is no longer available in BIAB (Mac 2021).

I've dragged all the real tracks into Logic Pro X.
But they all sound hollow as if there's been a bunch of reverb added when exporting from BIAB.
There's no reverb or other plugins added inside Logic so I have no idea why the tracks sound weird like this.

When playing back in Logic, I want the tracks to sound the same as they did in BIAB prior to export.

HELP!

Wish I could, but I don't use the plugin. If you have this problem using the application, I might be able to assist, as a BIAB Mac 2021 / Logic Pro user.

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."
