To get your BB track into PowerTracks Export then then give the a simple name like Drums, Fiddle etc.. You can save files to User/Application Support/com.pg.powertracks/drive_c/pt/songs, as PowerTracks will open in the pt folder. 1. Save your BB song again as song-powertracks.SGU then after save rename to MGU. 2. PowerTracks File > Open song-powertracks.MGU (this will give your chords). 3. Now select the first track > File > Import > Bass.WAV, next track Drums.WAV etc.. 4. You can Import the RealCharts Midi as well, in RealTrack Prefs check Save RealCharts in Midi file/BB Song MGU 5. File > Save Special > Midi > File on Disk. 6. PowerTracks File > Import song-powertracks.MID ** Don't import Chord from the Midi file !!! Biab Track Injector for Reaper Free Biab Chord Picker Tool
