I'm thinking about upgrading to BIAB 2013 just to get the "Print to PDF" capability. For reasons too complicated to discuss here, I'm seeking to convert a RealTracks generated solo to midi. I'm using BIAB 2011 where I can see the RealTracks solo in notation, but if I try to save a midi file, the solo disappears from the midi file. I have other software capable of converting PDF to midi (if the PDF was originally created in a music notation software and still contains some of that music information in it.) So my question is: are the PDF files created by BIAB 2013 comparable to those created in other music softwares (like Finale for instance) so that I will be able to load the BIAB created PDF into a converter (I use "PDF to Music"), and convert a RealTracks solo to midi?

Yes, they are standard PDF files, so should work for that purpose. As with any products you buy from us, there is a 30 day MBG.


Have Fun!

Hi Jazzmaan,

With Realtracks that have notation, it's possible to create a midi file because the notation is midi-based.

1. Load the Realtrack (that has notation) into the Melody track.

2. Generate the track (or song).

3. See the image below. Choose "Melody" (#1), then "Edit melody track" (#2) and lastly "Kill entire melody..." (#3)



4. Click on "Yes" to the first pop-up box that asks, "OK to erase the Realtrack?"

5. Click on "No" to the second pop-up box that asks,"OK to erase the MIDI date?"

Midi data will now be written on the Melody track and can be exported as midi. (Note that the volume will be zero. This will need to be set for midi sounds to be heard.)

Hope this helps,
Noel

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

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."
