I'm trying to save an arrangement as a midi file.
There are at least 10 real tracks on it, most or all of which i understand to be midi capable output.

I complete the midi save in BIAB and generate a .mid file

I import the arrangement into Logic I get two midi tracks.

Both say steinway Grand.
One is about 2 bars long
The other is clearly the drum track. If I assign it to a drum vst it sounds right.
At a minimum clearly my midi mapping is off.

So, I'm wondering where all the other tracks are?

You might guess, I'm new at this.

If you save a file as MIDI all you will get are MIDI files but not Realtracks with MIDI charts. To save all as MIDI drag and drop the master to the DAW mode MIDI. Then drag and drop the DAW Mode MIDI to either your DAW or to your desktop. Some DAWs do not accept DAW MIDI files. This works on a PC so I hope it also applies to a MAC.

A lot better.
I thank you MarioD

I have many more tracks in my DAW.
I think we making progress.

All told the drag & drop to logic created 34 Software Instrument Tracks from a BIAB arrangement of 11 tracks

Most all of them are named SteinwayGrand piano or Acoustic Guitar.
I have 6 Trombones (70 short of the requisite 76) labelled Melody
Drums do not appear to stems

I guess this all has to do with mapping.

I have 2 Steinway Grand Piano Tracks with only a bar or two in the track.

I'm sure I can clean it up manually. Can you think of anything I could do to make it a little more AutoMagic?

Again, thanks.

That is weird. I have never had that happen here.

Try a factory reset as that may solve the problem.

If that doesn't work look carefully at your BiaB song, your MIDI file setting, and at your BiaB DAW settings.

In your MIDI file settings look for the MIDI guitar and harmony settings. If both are checked and you have guitar and/or harmony tracks in your song the exported MIDI file will have 6 tracks for every guitar part and 4 tracks for every harmony part. Check your Logic tracks and if they only have one note per track then your given track may have been on an original BiaB guitar track. Again I'm on a PC so this may or may not be on the MAC's version of BiaB.

Let me know how you make out.

PS - for your song to be complete you need to add those other 70 trombone parts grin
