I have a strange issue. I had been able to drag and drop a midi file into biab and then have biab render it into 6 audio files so I could import it into another sequencer. All of a sudden that stopped and now when I press on the master to drag it across to drop it won't do anything. Any idea how to reset biab so my drag and drop will work again?

Methodman, which version of BiaB are you using?
Did this change after an upgrade?

Duh somehow I ticked off the checkbox for it in the plug in as soon as I saw that I checked it and its working fine. Thanks.

All good, thanks for letting us know, as this tip can help others too - maybe even me!

the tip is sort of useful, unfortunately I see no answer given..?? ... no info giving on were to fix this.. I am now having this problem. It's obviously a setting that I must have changed, but, I can't find it..

Actually in my case, drag and drop stopped working in Real Band for some reason. (RB 2016)

EDIT: Figured it out.. You can't use Drag and Drop while running RB in Administrator mode.. is that a bug or working as designed?

The impression I got was that he had to enable the DAW plug-in mode for it to work.

Press the [Plugin] button on the main toolbar and choose the menu item Start DAW Plug-in mode, or go to the Windows menu and choose Plug-in Mode for DAW.

Well, that actually surprises me. I always run RB and BiaB as Administrator, and Drag Drop works in RB for me OK.

This doesn't surprise me. I can not drag and drop if I run Sonar in Administrator mode. It must be something in our systems if other can DnD to RB and other DAWs.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.
