Correct me if I am wrong but weren't you able to export biab tracks as separate wave files in the past? If yes I cannot find this option in the 2018 version.
Thanks

Drag individual tracks one-at-a-time, drop it on the drop station as shown. Results will be at 'x:\bb\DragDrop'

Wendy and Mike K,

Your way does work, so does the way VideoTrack suggested. Band-in-a-Box provides multiple ways to perform most tasks. Sometimes there are three or four ways to accomplish a task!

Your comments read like something I might write. I find one method to perform a task and that is the method I use. Then someone mentions an entirely different way of performing the same task. Sometimes the different method is a natural fit for my workflow but other times the new method becomes a "nice to know".

The surprising thing to me is both methods fit the workflow of some people because everyone has a different way of working.

It's there, under Audio, select export Audio as WAV or something alike, and you can choose various options
.... only the normalize function does not seem to work, a reported bug. F

Yes, as others have mentioned there's usually more than one way to perform a task.
Incidentally, I use other methods also, but that was a quick way of visualizing the required steps for the O/P.
