I finally got BIAB 64 working. For anyone with a lot of static and distortion, click the Midi icon. Then unselect "Use VSTi/DXi synth."

Seems to me that may not be fix for someone that is using that.

That is one of the same issues I'm having...
Distortion issues with Biab2019

I'm glad you found a workaround, but if you're using MIDI, it's still a problem...

I've been wanting to attempt MIDI but I can wait.

BTW, that was exactly what I was hearing.

Deb,

I have Windows 7 and if you have Microsoft GM Wavetable selected as my output MIDI driver (see image), MIDI playback is fine.

My ability to export MIDI as a wav file is limited without the VSTi/DXi active.

Regards,
Noel

Deb,

Out of curiosity, what version of Windows do you run?

Regards,
Noel

The desktop and my main BIAB computer:

Windows 10 Home 64

HP 64 based PC

8 G ram

Hard drive:
1 T free
814 G used

Presonus AudioBox 22VSL

The Dell laptop is running Windows 10 Home 64 is not as robust as the desktop. Enough though to run BIAB. The laptop has never seen the AudioBox.

I solved my distortion issues with BiaB-64 on my laptop by changing my VSTi/DXi synth to Cakewalk TTS-1.
Apparently my distortion problem (see my video) was the use of VSTSynthfont64

The definitive solution to this is to install Band-in-a-Box 2019 version 608 (or newer), but installing the Roland/Cakewalk TTS1 synth is also a no-brainer good idea!

Build 608 is here...

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."
