You have Track Actions > Save track as WAV file but you also need MID, as the other MID save options save all tracks to a midi file. This will save direct to the chosen location rather than the Drag Drop folder and will give single midi/RC track render without the need to drag drop.
Are you saying that you want BIAB to take a .wav file, and interpret it as a MIDI file? I didn't know that was even possible. Are there other programs that can do that?
Or perhaps you're saying you want to be able to take the existing MIDI file that is already associated with a Real Track, and export that as a separate MIDI file.
Or perhaps I just don't understand what you're after! lol LLOYD S

Ya, this is doable - but not in BIAB. Melodyne is somewhat the gold standard for this. here is a recent example I did for a project. It ain't perfect but I was impressed by how close I could get converting the original audio to midi and then rendering it with a Kontakt VSti.
musocity: Are you saying that you want BIAB to take a .wav file, and interpret it as a MIDI file?
No, just want a menu item to save a track to a single midi track file as the only way you can do that now is by dragging. If you want to convert audio to mid: Melodyne vs BasicPitch Free
Wow, you can be a man of few words. I suspect I have to surmise what you have shown here.
First picture of the BB/Dragdrop folder confirmes to me that any midi (and wav) ever dragged out of BIAB is copied there. OK - I knew that. I clear this on occasion when doing housekeeping. Second picture appears to be your suggested mock up of what an Export Midi window would contain. I think I get this and am a little surprized that nothing like this currently exists in BIAB? Which I assume is why you are asking for this. The third picture .... is ... well me, so I guess you are providing this info to me?
LOL while I was taking the screen shot you were looking right at it. I can drag export midi track in Reaper but also save as a single track or multiple to any folder. Drag and drop just fills the folder up where as a Save option in the track's menu will allow you to save where you like and overwrite without creating a new instance. You are allowed to save as a wav from the track menu, goes to reason you should have mid also.
****************************************************** I think that is remarkable! For a program to be able to interpret a .wav file that closely and convert it to MIDI is something I never imagined. Thanks for sharing! LLOYD S
Spirit of the Gray Wolf! Perfect! This is now Dan's new nick name!

Band-in-a-Box interprets monophonic audio to midi pretty good too. Select a track, select the "Audio Edit" button, select the "Edit" tab and "Transcribe" in the Edit menu.

Thanks for that, I didn't know you could do that here. So I move this midi to another track and apply a new midi instrument. Nice
The other path is Audio -> Transcribe (does the same)

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
