good evening, I would like to report that scanning VST plug-ins causes BIAB 2020 to crash on my mac (macbookpro 2013/mojave). I wanted to try by checking the box "automatic scan " and BIAB bug each time when opening, I think all I have to do is to delete the prefs ... to start correctly. is it an identified issue ? good night

I don't have this issue on my Mac. Likely you have a plugin that is crashing the scanner in BB. Perhaps try removing a few VST's at a time and see if you can narrow down which ones make BB crash on you.

yes I was thinking about that, a plug-in which is not compatible, I will try adding the plugs as and when to find the culprit.
Thank you and good day

Same here under Catalina. This issue occurred just after having activated the VST plugin scan. I suspect the WavesHeadTracker module to cause this crash. Now I'd like to disable this VST scan, but I can't even start properly BIAB ! Is there a safe mode startup ?

Ok, problem solved by : 1. renaming the VST folder -> ***VST (renaming individual plugins doesn't work) 2. booting up BIAB 3. disabling the buggy option 'scan VST at startup' 4. closing BIAB 5. renaming properly my VST folder Everything works fine now.

if I remember well, trash in prefs folder of BIAB "Band-in-a-Box Preferences_X86" or all prefs if it don't works and you 'll can start again. I didn't have enough time to find the VST plug that cos crash, I disable all and when I'll have time I will activate vst one by one...

In addition, you can reset the preferences of Band-in-a-Box by deleting the contents of the Preferences folder in the Band-in-a-Box folder - that would allow BB to start up after activating the automatic plugin scanner.

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."
