Hi, Is there a way to record to more than one audio track in BIAB, or should I move the MIDI parts to a different platform? (a newbie question) thanks!

Record your first instrument or vocal onto the audio track.
From the audio menu, make the audio track a Performance track and move it to an available track.
Record your second and third audio tracks repeating the above process.

As explained it can be accomplished however IMHO you should do this in a DAW. You gain a lot more flexibility in a DAW that you will ever get when recording audio in BiaB.
If you don't already have a favorite DAW then use RealBand; this of course assumes you have the PC version of BiaB. Mac users can chime in and suggest a DAW for that platform.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Thank you. I have the PC version. I'll start with BiaB. baby steps. I just found audio record on RealBand. lol I think I'll move the midi tracks to ProTracks when I'm more comfortable. It does look like more audio options. Thanks, again

If you already know a DAW (Pro Tools) use that. Just take a moment to look over what RealBand can do: it can open a BIAB file and regenerate sections of a track. No other DAW can do that (neither can BIAB).
You are running Pro Tools on a PC? Version 12.5 if Windows 10; the earlier versions don’t work on new versions of Windows.
If you don’t already have a DAW, I can’t recommend Pro Tools anyway. It is often unstable and is terribly complicated compared to several other choices. The main reason to use it is if you need to transfer tracks to and from a pro recording studio.

Or Power Tracks?

Hi Thanks. After a closer look at RealBand. (finding audio recording lol) I'll work with that and BiaB.
Pro Tracks is/was an add-on, I think, when I bought an M-Audio midi interface. Looks a lot like the RealBand Function.
ProTools is too expensive and I'm allergic to complicated. Thanks

Hi, ProTracks came free, I think with an M-Audio midi interface. This was a few years ago. It's a recording software that included Cakewalk. (I couldn't find an active link) I used to know what I was doing on Cakewalk a long time ago. That was a few computers ago.
I remember I preferred Power Tracks to Cakewalk at the time and Power tracks was free. When I upgraded BiaB a little while ago the Rep said I should look at Real Band if I was interested in Power Tracks.

I like Cakewalk as you can do comping. I.e. Record the part a number of times, select the best bits and seemlessy merge them. But that costs money.
For free one could use Audacity. Create the song in BIAB export the wav file import this into Audacity. Record the extra part save it by itself then pull it back into BIAB. Once again as many tracks as you need but merging is more difficult.

Check out Reaper. Some of us love it and you can use it for free for as long as you need until you shell out all of $60 US. Really good value. A lot of us go BIAB - RealBand to Reaper or BIAB to Reaper.

MixCraft seems to be holding its own with BIAB & RB, and it's a great value. I actually tried to switch to using Real Band, but I had to switch back to MC.
RB is a really nice product, and a very capable starter DAW. With that being said, good luck trying to seriously mix down and master in it. Yes, you can do wonders with it, however I've learned to understand why other BIAB users still use their favorite DAW of choice.
In theory you should be able to regenerate a track in BIAB and just drag a section or track into a DAW. Not to mention that a lot of my favorite VST's are not working in it, but that may just need a little help from support.

FWIW I'm one of the ones that has been using Reaper more and more. It has it's fair share of menu choices and options to get used to and learn, but it does seem pretty stable/efficient.
It has no 'Home/Studio/Pro' version features or pricing to consider. For about the price of Mixcraft 'Home Studio' you get all of Reaper .. but you need to consider your needs, intent and pricing to make an informed decision. Mixcraft may have things you want that Reaper doesn't, and vice-versa.
I *think* they both offer a free trial, I know Reaper does. Reaper is actually free for as long as you want, if you are willing to ignore the NAG screen and that gut feeling that it is well worth the price. (I got another license recently just because I 'should'). As far as I can tell it is on the honor system, which made me even more compelled.

/Well, except for Ozone. Don't audition that unless you are able/willing to pony up. You'll want it.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
