So, every time I get a new Real Band version I have to go through this, and I think last time I just gave it up. BTW, I do this all the time with Cakewalk and it is straight forward so I guess I am not THAT Stupid.

Anyway, I have an audio track I am recording on track 18 and I have Amplitube 4 on the Edit/VST slot and see it shows up as an insert on that track. Check.

I have checked the input monitoring box in preferences.

If I record something on that track and play it back I can hear Amplitube, but not when I am recording.

Yes, I have input monitor checked on the main panel of preferences but still no go.

What have I missed??

(BTW, In adding a VSTi to a midi track I find I have to do several steps back and forth until it does what it supposed to, and recognizes what I want so maybe that is the case here. I can explain more on that confusing scenario if you want.) In Cakewalk, if you want a soft synth on a track you just add it and it does its thing. No multiple back and forth attempts at "selecting a special VSTi" and so forth. Same with amps on an Audio channel in Cakewalk. You just add them and they know what they are supposed to do if you enable them with the orange button staring you in the face on THAT track.

Anyway, what is the simple cure and additional box that needs to checked to hear Amplitube on that specific track while I am playing, and not just after the fact?

Also, one problem I had last year, is I somehow got the VST on the audio track with Amplitube to work, but it then used Amplitube on ALL tracks as if it were on the master or something. But it wasn't.

Kinda confusing.

If I get an answer I will cut and paste it this time!!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The missing secret step is to click the top box in the FX popup for the desired track, scroll alll the way down (it is a long way now with the 256 tracks)
and select Input Monitor at the very bottom.
Then use the 4 slots for FX.
Hope it still works, I haven't tried it lately ..

/Hope you can forgive me now

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."
