Thanks to all for your answers. I believe all three are helpful.

I did not put BIAB into DAW plug-in mode before rendering the midi track to wav. I just dragged from the guitar name at the top of the screen left to the wav quadrant of the daw drop. The wav file showed up in the /bb/drop folder as it should. Prior to converting the guitar track I converted the bass, drums, piano and strings tracks from midi to wav in a similiar manner without any issues. I changed the name of the rendered files and converted using the right click on the instrument patch name in the mixer to make sure there was no major difference in how the two methods work. The only difference I could find is using the DAW drop the coverted file is automatically sent to the drop folder while the right click method allows the user to define which folder the file is sent to.

Noel your answer assured me my SGU file is not corrupt and what a relief it is to know that. I don't know how but I really have gotten good at corrupting SGU files. I spend a great deal of time reconstructing corrupt SGU files from last known good SGU.

Mac I think you're correct that only one of the six strings is rendering to wav. I didn't know some styles combine the string into one channel while others do not. Evidently every midi style I've played with until now combines all strings into one channel.

Again, thanks to all for your help
