What is VSB file?
The file with the extension VSB is the Audio Files file type. In addition to this file, the Audio Files category includes 771 related files. Virtual Sampler Bank is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Awave Studio. This was created by FMJ-Software.
How to open VSB file?
The main problem with Virtual Sampler Bank is that the VSB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VSB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VSB file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Awave Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the Awave Studio program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Awave Studio in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support VSB files.
Programs to open VSB file
Remember to download programs supporting VSB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Awave Studio with VSB files
If, despite the installed application, the VSB file does not start in the Awave Studio application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VSB file with the Awave Studio application.
Step 3. Update Awave Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Awave Studio program with the Virtual Sampler Bank file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the FMJ-Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VSB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The VSB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VSB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VSB file. Sometimes virus-infected VSB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VSB files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VSB files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VSB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the VSB file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VSB file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VSB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
