thanks for the response ,yes the tracks are saved to the song and will generate and play in
BIAB and play in Real band...

but when i save the song as a type 1 midi.....it will only play the stick count i added
the drum track which is track 10 and the bass track which is track 4

the brass track is on track 5 and the brass track is on track 6....these are the track numbers as it shows from the melody window and the 16 track sequencer section..

now just thinking here what if in the preference section under channels its listed different from the sequence section in BIAB will this effect it?...because i think those numbers may be different..

thanks
