Hi friends,
When I drag either the Master or individual instruments, the resulting aiff files contains that instrument mixed with another instrument (in this case, piano), instead of being a strictly solo track.
When I solo a track while playing back in BiaB (2014 mac) I don't hear the extra instrument. Is there any way to work around this?
Tried restarted the app, and muting all other tracks--that seemed to work, but after unmuting the stowaway piano track came back.
This is especially frustrating given that generating aiff files for the 6 tracks takes quite a while.
Will keep trying and post back if I find a workaround.
thanks,
-Tony

OK, so my workaround is as follows.
For each track:
- solo the track in the mixer
- hit Generate and Play (ensure the track works)
- now drag just that track to the drop area to generate aiff
- when done, drop into external program
It's quite possible this could be pilot error--this is only my 2nd day with the program. Although I have many years of experience with all manner of music software on both Mac and PC, and I'm a software engineer by trade.
Integration with external programs really elevates the usefulness of this tool, so I hope this is fixed soon.
Thanks,
-Tony

Dear Tony
Now I might be talking out of where the sun don't shine here - especially since I don't know the first thing about Macs/BIAB - but I had a similar experience with synths on a PC once. Second instrument being recorded.
OK. I was using Korg M1 Emulator. Turned out lots of their sounds are actually pairs of basic sounds being used together. And when you hit the MIDI Control part of the synth, the sounds themselves were split - one sound only came in at preset levels, either high or low. So you could make a composite sound from - say - choir and piano and have the choir only come in on the high notes (or low notes!)
Remembering I don't know (BEEP!) about BIAB, could it be something like that happening? One of the sounds you're using actually having a composite sound in with it that only kicks in at certain points?: If so, on the Korg there's a MUTE button and you can also just remove the sound from the pairing.
Just an idea, is all....
Yours respectfully

Welcome, Tony.
If this were a PC, I would ask if you had recorded an audio track of the piano that is playing along with the track you want. I'm not sure the Mac version has that, though. I suggest you post in the BIAB Product Forum for Mac.
BIAB 2026 Win Audiophile. Software: Fender Studio One 8, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Presonus Quantom HD8 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

I had a similar experience with my PC version. I loaded several Real Tracks of different instruments one after the other onto the Melody track including a piano and guitar. The guitar was the last audio (Real Track) loaded and the final several notes of audio were piano.
