Automatic "Rendering" can only happen if you are using a DXi or VSTi software synthesizer.

When using an external hardware MIDI synth, the only way to make an audio file of that "performance" is to hook up the Audio L & R outputs of the MIDI synth to the L & R Line Inputs of your sound device and then play back the MIDI performance while simultaneously recording it in stereo to the Audio track.

Audio tracks recorded in BiaB will be given the same filename as the songfile that is currently loaded, just changing the suffix from .mgu/.sgu etc to .wav. When there is a .wav file of the same filename as the BiaB songfile, it will load automatically onto the BiaB Audio track and will play back along with the BiaB backing traks. To hear only the Audio file, you can either disable the Style by rightclicking on the Stylename window and choosing Disable, or you can Solo the Audio track by rightclickin on the Audio trackname. You can also change the filename of the .wav file to prevent it from autoloading with the song.

As for the Return to Factory Settings changing your settings, take the time to read what's going on there and when things are working correctly in BiaB, do what it tells you to take a snapshot of your settings so that the next time you have reason to Return to Factory Settings you can return to YOUR personal settings instead.
