Well here I am being all glib again. There was so much wrong with that video it is hard to discribe. That is not the way the program is supposed to behave. Five minutes I will never get back again. But if Adar puts his eyes on it that is your best bet for getting it straightened out.

By the way, did you try my configurations for Reaper? Cause I see you have the Audio outs all messed up (IMO) which can be fixed in the configuration settings. I really do hope Adar can point you in the right direction. smile

Hi ,

Crashed almost immediatly unfortunately ... (both in Reaper and Vsthost64)

For Reaper , I prefer using separate outputs to equalize each track live (sent to jamtaba plugin)

Gegu,
what version of Reaper? I don't have to go through much effort to load PG Music BIAB onto a track.
It won't have any impact but you should synch the tempos.
Have you checked the folder generated files are saved to? It may be going beyond it's nominated size...probably won't help either but worth checking.
That was a lot of regenerating...I don't do any changes or regenerations within Reaper as I feel much more comfortable doing the grunt work in the main BIAb prog...but I understand it was to get you to the crash point.
Don't worry about negativity - it's the change to Lake Michigan water that has seen the rise & rise of the curmudgeon estate.


Cheers

Hi ,

Reaper version is 6.57 , but the problem exists also with another daw (Vsthost) , on two computers running Windows 11
(maybe this OS is more tricky about certain errors ?) ,and it can happen at the FIRST generation too.

Syncing the tempo before generating song does not help

I have checked disk space on both computers , it is OK

I have taken care to restart the computer before testing (but not always)

I am using the BIAB plugin as it permits to generate songs then play them without putting them on tracks (by just hiting the "play" button") , and I am using Reaperfor the jamtaba plugin (playing guitar on the internet live with an backing track fed directly by the BIAB plugin)

Anyway , let the developers investigate.

You can try it with Rewire, you don't have to use the Reaper script with it. Just load the RewireVST into Biab then select Reaper.

Is it the actual Rewire64Vst that crashes if so it's maybe Win11 issue:

It's best to start a new post detailing your specific issue. Piling one report on top of another means your report may not get the attention it deserves.

Check out +++ THIS +++ post and +++ THIS +++ post for suggestions about log files you can attach to your post that will help Adar, the main plugin developer, identify and fix the issue.

I still don't understand why you need to use VSTHost in Reaper.
It seems unnecessary and the potential problem.

VSTHost is old that's why I suggested trying in Element as this fixed all the crash problems I was having in Reaper, so I think it is worth a try.

Sorry, maybe I was not clear :

Vsthost is a standalone like Reaper , I tried it to see if the issue is only with Reaper


Btw , with Reaper , I have tried a minimal project with only one track containing the BIAB plugin , same issue
Another test was with Coyote VST (1.0.0.1) instead of VstSyntFont64 , same issue

Fwiw, the most common error encountered is heap corruption in the BIAB plugin


Would it be worth generating a song with only audio tracks (assuming that the synth vsti would be loaded but not used in this case ...) ?

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
