OK, I'm using an old macbook pro running BIAB 2014. Have never recorded mid guitar and would like to. I just downloaded a trial version of some software that converts guitar audio into midi data. Problem is, how do I get that midi data recorded into BIAB?
I've looked at the usual settings in Prefs etc, but i just don't see the Midi Gtr midi otput anywhere. I'm using the internal audio and midi on the laptop, but because I've enabled "Virtual? midi on the guitar Midi program, I was really hoping it would work.
I must be missing something, right?

can't help with anything Mac but is the software MIDI Guitar (which I'll shorten to "MG" to save space/confusion) by Jam Orgins? [because I have/use that SW and can maybe help there].
First if Mac is like Windows then you probably can't use same near-realtime audio interface - so in MG in the "settings" whatever your Audio Device is I doubt both BIAB and MG can use it AT SAME time. That's a Mac thing - maybe you can maybe you can't I don't use Mac's.
Second a little further down in settings is the "MIDI output Route" this is where MG will send MIDI data to - for now I'll call it "internal MIDI 1" as you play the guitar.
Third BIAB's MIDI input (look under: "Options -> MIDI/Audio Drivers Setup -> MIDI input driver" needs to be looking to that "internal MIDI 1" device/port that you set in MG - (or in simple terms: output from MG NEEDS to go to input of BIAB)
Now that BIAB and MG are communicating (and not tripping over same Audio (sound making) device - BIAB can now record your MG MIDI in.
Remember recording MIDI will ONLY be recorded on either the BIAB Melody track or Soloist track.
Good Luck

it was another missing feature in the macintosh band in a box
so I think they have to go to the melody tab - import melody from midi file

Thanks guys, but got it going! I didn't have the BIAB midi prefs set to "core" like I should have...
With my old macbook pro, I can now record midi directly from my guitar plugged straight into the audio input on the mac! No interface required!! The SW from Jam Origin simply creates polyphonic waves then converts each one to midi date. So it's an extension of the "Melodyne" technology used in their software.
Works (almost?) as well as midi guitar controllers, but uses your own guitar instead....
