Hi, am trying to persist with the plug-in with Reaper.
Can anyone suggest why the drum tracks finish half way through the song.
Frustrated.
Cheers

Hello Wish,
I really like the plug in BUT not for importing RTs etc. There seems to be a problem of some sort each time...sometimes user error like not matching tempo before starting the project and sometimes just the Plug In being difficult.
I find generation time and importing more reliable and faster when done from within BIAB to Reaper the old fashioned way.
I suppose, really, I like the plug in for the chord chart & its ability to follow Reaper.

It's likely someone else will have a decent answer for you but my matching frustration has seen me "work around" the thing.


Cheers

To get up to date with issues I tried importing through the VST inside Reaper yesterday. I received a message asking me to update the styles list and then things STALL - I can't, from what I see, deal with style lists from the plug in.
Sign, went back to BIAB and exported the necessary files to my Reaper project folder - far, far less hassle.

You can load the plugin SGU into Biab then render just the stems if that's what you mean by "drum tracks" ?

You can also render the drum track/s to wav in Biab then load it into the plugin track/s with right click, or drop straight into Reaper's track/s

or you can use Reaper injector

Thanks musocity
I’m not whether my computer skills allow me to use injector.
Not even sure what it does….I get lost in reading the posts on it.
Thanks

It's easier than learning Biab smile
Maybe move up to Qld where it's a bit warmer, you will become 20 years younger smile
Ray will tell ya.

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.

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."
