Free try version https://www.mutools.com/mulab-plugin-downloads.html

This will allow electronic song sections within a Biab song by muting Biab tracks with F5 or volume automation.
You can drag and drop Midi or Audio tracks/loops/section into it's tracks.
Any audio or midi item can be easily edited with non destructive editing.
You can add any VST/VSTi to the tracks in MuLab.
*It would work well from Biab DROP export if it did not have ^ in the rendered files "RealDrums NashvilleEven8^8", the other instruments drag in ok. You can highlight any section of chords on the chord sheet then drag the instrument or Master to DROP "+" to have the option of dry, center and flat.


EDIT: this works better if you just put the folder in C:\ root as it needs write access.
Extract the "MuLab PlugIn (64 bit)" from Zip to your VST2 64bit folder then right click on folder > Properties and un-check read only > Apply.
Go to Project > Open Demo for sample projects.
Make sure to enable "Host Sync" button top right (right click for options).
Ctrl+spacebar is not working properly at the moment to play from very start so to play from very start hit the <rewind button in MuLab first or click the cursor in the ACW or Audio Edit window at the very start then spacebar.
You can highlight a section on the chord sheet then loop play and it will follow.
For drag n drop set file browser to Run As Administrator if Biab is set to that.

This is another example how to sync Biab with a DAW, but to be able to do it with any DAW you need THIS.

My understanding is, this MuLab thing is just another DAW, similar to Studio One, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, etc, but not as popular, as fully functional, as the mainstream DAWs, am I right?

Similar to FL Studio, MuLab has a VST version, which means it can be inserted into BiaB as a plugin, and allow playback sync, which is the purpose of this post, right?

So far, to allow transport sync with BiaB, there are a few options.

1. FL Studio Plugin
2. MuLab Plugin
3. ReWire + Cubase
4. ReWire + Reaper

Anything else?

Ableton can't use VSTs in slave mode like Reaper and FL Studio.
MuLab VST version seems to have most functions, it will use VST's. The only issue I had was it did not adjust the tempo of audio tracks when you change the project, I did report it but know if it's been fixed in the latest version ?

All these issues would be solved if PG made the the transport sync plugin to slave Biab to ANY DAW. It would follow any tempo map using elastique pro, then if you export tracks to the DAW the ACID info will fit the wav file to the DAW tempo map.
Down the track they can create: Look Ma RealTimeSignatures.

you should have FL Studio VSTi (Multi).dll somewhere, load it then click the logo in the red circle, make sure you have a midi note on the track if you want to render the FL track into the Biab song.

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."
