Bi.a.B. as plugin in Studio One 5.3 #664360 07/16/21 01:59 AM Band-in-a-Box VST and Pro Tools/AAX DAW Plugin (Windows)

I'm sorry; would have liked to display the screenshot I just took after trying to open a B.i.a.b.-file within the plugin, but obviously that is not possible... So I have to f.... describe it instead. Okay then: there's a little pop-up window saying Quote: Run Band-in-a-box (-22) The Song selected could not be loaded. Try renaming the song file or saving it again before opening the song. Yes, I used the plugin before. Wasn't too enthusiastic then because it was incredibly slow (is that normal??), but wanted to give it another try. I guess I maybe just have to return to the "old ways" (rendering the wanted tracks within B.i.a.b., then importing the rendered tracks in Studio One)... Unless somebody's got an idea what I did wrong...? Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) Screenshot_1.jpg (160.92 KB, 241 downloads)

In the VSTi did you click on file, selected your song, then clicked on generate? That is the method I use and I have no problems using the BiaB VSTi in the current Studio One Pro 5. If you have done the above a more detailed description of your method might help. Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player? 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Yes, yes, no - nothing to generate when the song can't be loaded... Downloading the Update right now; will install it later this evening and hope it will solve the problem.

Are you using the VST 3 or VST2 version of the plug-in? Note I am using the VST3 version. If you can post a song that is giving you problems I can take a look at it here. You can post it on the free version of Dropbox or if you wish I can give you my email address via a PM so you can send it to me directly.

I decided to try bringing my song into Studio One after reading this thread. The song went in great - no problem. I'd be happy to try your song if you'd like. ...Deb Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) SteamyDay.JPG (149.41 KB, 196 downloads) My song Last edited by DSM; 07/16/21 11:04 PM.

However, they will not load into the VST when activated in Studio One I am running BIAB 2021 and Studio One 4 off of a portable hard drive. I'm planning to upgrade studio one to ver 5 shortly then I will move everything to my C: drive. I'll keep playing with it to see if anything changes. I need to double check vst version jim

Originally Posted By: Pipeline There were issues opening SGU with odd characters in the name. Also you can copy chords directly from Biab to the Plugin. This might actually be the solution! Because there is in the title of that song of mine a German "Umlaut"; you know, these little dots above letters like "u" and "o" what only a few languages have and what American Heavy Metal bands love. ^^ So, if this Umlaut counts as "odd character", I've got my solution... Did not yet check it out though, since I, as previously announced, used the "old ways" (exporting the tracks etc.) which went suprisingly quick (way quicker than in earlier versions!) and I was working a lot on that stuff the last couple of days (which is also why I'm answering only now). So I will keep that in mind and try it again with a song without "odd characters" soon!

You can try removing the umlaut from the file name and see if it fixes the issue, or you can email me a copy of your song (aguy@pgmusic.com) and I can take a closer look.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, I'll make sure this gets fixed.

I normally name things by what ever the song name is going to be which helps to prevent problems that some software programs don't like. No accent marks even if I name it in French. I don't use the VST much because it is to small for me to see well and I don't know how to resize it or even if that can be done. It is normal for windows to reject certain things like a dash line for example but allow and underscore. Go figure...win 10 is it's own confusing world.

Move your mouse cursor over the three, diagonal lines and the cursor arrow will change to a diagonal double arrow. Left click and drag to resize. You can drag diagonally to proportionally resize the window. You can drag left or right to change the window width. You can drag up or down to change the window height.

Go figure...win 10 is it's own confusing world. If you mean the vertical bar symbol " \| " this is because the command prompt uses it to "pipe" information - basically, you can route the output from one executable to another using \| which many programs might do even if not running via the command prompt. Same thing with characters like > which redirects output from an executable to a file, and we all know others like * : \ / ? ". I work here
