I am very impressed by this lesson. I have tried to use the vst in Ableton but failed miserably. Now I have created a groove that pleases me. Thankyou so much. Subed love UK
You did a great job with covering this. Excellent work. It's actually quite a smooth workflow once you know the tricks that you covered in this video. Thanks again.
I think you explained things very clearly and well.I really appreciate the time you have taken, and I learned a great deal, Thank you so much and keep up the good work. Mike,....in England!
This is seriously underrated software. And there is maybe only one bloke on TH-cam making regular videos on it (other than the developer), and he isn't even a musician or producer- more of a karaoke dude. I'd love to see a lot more videos on it by actual producers.
Very nice. Love Biab. If your DAW supports midi clipboard, just open Biab in stand alone mode. Drag and drop midi to anywhere in the ap and it will import the file. If you drag and drop from scaler it's not precise but you can correct it. From Ezkey's it works perfect. As a last resort export or drop file from DAW. Go to import in file menu in biab. There is a whole wizard to derive chords from midifiles. Biab is just so underestimated, easy on the surface, but so deep, DAW, sampler, notation, the list goes on and on. Looking forward to whats up next.
ottimo lavoro. hai insegnato in maniera semplice una cosa importante , che nessuno mi aveva spiegato prima e che agevola il lavoro di arrangiamento di molto. Grazie!!
hi great video Thanks for posting one thing you might have overlooked>: your cubase first bar starts at bar zero while the BB starts at bar one, nevertheless your fix worked and its all good .. cheers and thank you from your newest subscriber 🙂
Fingers, you are my scaler guy. But you do BIAB also?? What a surprise. Good for you for taking on this Demo - BIAB can be challenging. In fact, 2021 made some very significant advances in the BIAB-VST which make the work flow a bit smoother. But of course it is still BIAB.
Very well done this video. I found it very practice based. BIB lost it’s robotic touch with the real players. The possibility to use it partially is really mind blowing. Thank you Sir.
A problem comes when you want to create a song that progressively speeds up or down. Where the song does so you necessarly have to use midi notes and not wave files from Band in a box. Or you have to set the speed change in Band in a box before exporting its generated wave files (is it possible to let the song *progressively* change its speed in Band in a box?)
hi, That is a really good question. I have a feeling that BB could adapt somewhat as changing the bpm of a wave file has come a long way. but worth a good test for sure.
Sorry but the BIAB VST plugin just doesn't work, I followed every step to the T, the only thing inside that plugin that can be changed is entering the chord sequences, and that's it, the tempo, signature, and even adding a real track just doesn't work, nothing can be added or changed, and I have both VST2 and VST3 plugins, and neither of them work inside a DAW. What I do, is to use BIAB to create a song, then click the DAW mode, which shrinks the UI then open a DAW, and create a new project, set the DAW to the same tempo as BIAB, then drag and drop each instrument track from BIAB to the DAW, THAT! is the ONLY way it will work, but using BIAB as a VST it WILL NOT work.
Great Video, can i transport chords from Scaler into Band in a Box ? I guess just works to save midi from scaler to drive and than import to Band in a Box ! Or is they a other easy way ? If someone know it, can just be you ;-)
I would get the basic one and you can always upgrade to a bigger package later. Xmas time a good time to get a deal and upgrade to the latest version. The ultra pak is not cheap so its good to try it out first.
thx for your great job, but I would never buy it again. I did have an older version, basic prized, only to realize in the end when it came to upgrading to the next years version that in general it offers too much country, too much folk, too much Nashville stuff, which was even confirmed by one of their helplines. It is outdated when it comes to producing pop/electro. And investing in their prizey add-ons won´t satisfy.
I'm gonna have to unsubscribe from your channel. Every time i watch a new video, I get gear envy, lol. The last Band In A Box I had was 2008. Man, it sure has grown up a lot.
Extremely helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge!
Nice work mate. I was wanting to do the same, with the same plugins in Studio one, and you saved me a lot of legwork! Cheers!

A2Z I agree its a very powerful system. thanks for commenting.

You've got yourself a new enthusiastic suscriber, sir! Outstanding work!
Good to have you here

Once again…, amazing job! Love your great tuts as they are always helpful and inspiring! Keep up your good work!
Real nice demo, thanks!

Thanks Adrian
Very helpful!! Nice!!
nice !
Interesting approach... Just using individual realtracks
At 21 min. it looks as if the bar display of BB lags behind by 1 bar. Is that intended?
❤ thank you for the video, well explained. I’m wondering if we can also import midi files (chords for example) and ensure the band is following it ?
I love band in a box i play saxophone
Hi biab can input midi via open special- midifile
This simplifies outputting large chord progressions from a daw to biab
Eric thanks for that great info!
Thank you, Sir. which version of band in the box would you recommend buying?
you could start with just the base program and upgrade later as they have upgrade paths that don't loose you money.
dont see why you,ve used other vst instruments when biab dos all that anyway?
I think in that video I was trying to show how it works with other vst's in a daw.
I think EZBass and Superior Drummer just get in the way if your have BIAB
My thoughts exactly!

hi, That is a really good question. I have a feeling that BB could adapt somewhat as changing the bpm of a wave file has come a long way. but worth a good test for sure.
You could just export the song and then automate tempo changes in your daw.
How did you get your logo on the EZBass bass? That's so cool. I wanna I wanna.
Before the last updates the interface graphics could be easily accessed and photoshoped. not anymore.
Sorry but the BIAB VST plugin just doesn't work, I followed every step to the T, the only thing inside that plugin that can be changed is entering the chord sequences, and that's it, the tempo, signature, and even adding a real track just doesn't work, nothing can be added or changed, and I have both VST2 and VST3 plugins, and neither of them work inside a DAW.

Very great video. Thank you, Sir. Will the workflow be the same with EZDrummer instead of SD?
Yes it should work fine with ezdrummer
Great Video, can i transport chords from Scaler into Band in a Box ? I guess just works to save midi from scaler to drive and than import to Band in a Box ! Or is they a other easy way ? If someone know it, can just be you ;-)
yes it would be nice to to drag the chords into bb but you might have to do it the way you described. thx for watchin

thanks, i like your videos, keep them coming!
....chord progression hmmmm....sound and vid has a delay of 1 bar...why ????
Toll

ahhaa Yes its changed a lot, I need to upgrade to 2021
Awful - more of this.
