My wish is for Band-in-a-Box song files having midi instrument tracks assume RealBand's default midi resolution setting when the files are imported into RealBand.

Presently RealBand is capable of using a much higher midi resolution than the highest setting available in Band-in-a-Box. The high resolution settings available in RealBand allow for much better precision editing capability than is available in Band-in-a-Box. RealBand users can select a high midi resolution setting to be the default setting for RealBand but this setting is ignored when a SGU or MGU file is imported. This can cause a great deal of user frustration as the user tries to edit audio or midi tracks and the edit points can not be highlighted correctly because the edit points are too wide. The user then must go into settings and set the midi resolution back to the high resolution default setting.

Many PG Music users rely on RealTracks, UserTracks, midi instrument tracks exported as an audio waveform, audio loops or custom audio tracks and rarely, if at all, think about midi. Few users think of changing a midi setting to enhance their audio editing experience in RealBand.

Allowing Band-in-a-Box song files assume RealBand default midi resolution setting as part of the importation process will greatly enhance the RealBand user experience. I hope you will agree.
