Frank, one thing I do is drag the MIDI track(s) first, which establishes the tempo in SONAR.




Matt,
Drag-dropping a BIAB midi track alone into my SONAR 8 (studio version) does not change the tempo in Sonar to match the song in BIAB. A midi track transferred in this way simply runs at the Sonar default tempo of 120 if you leave it set at that value irrespective of the BIAB tempo value. That is, it plays the midi track faster if the BIAB tempo is less than 120 and slower vice versa. This is the case for a single midi track or a “soft synth” (midi plus audio track) with an EW library sample.

Setting the tempo to match BIAB is no effort of course you just type in the value. So that is what I do regularly for real tracks plus the Sonar "soft synth" option for midi/audio with library samples.
