Wow, where do I start! Thanks for all of these ideas. Yes, it was real tracks that I was hearing and by shutting down everything, starting the motif first before opening Cubase. So, for now, I'm good to go. I do have another question that I should post under another heading, but I'll throw it out here. It is regarding using real tracks with midi tracks. Is there a way to import midi files from another source, ie. Cubase, into BIAB and convert them to something (chord progressions) that real tracks could read? I know how to send real tracks as audio to Cubase, but I'm not sure how to use store bought midi files with BIAB to use real tracks. Thanks for all your help.
