Hi there,
What is the easiest and quickest way to save a MIDI file from BIAB2009 complete with all the RealTracks and Realdrums so that they can easily send to a DAW for further work. I am sure I saw a great Mac explanation a while back but searched on the forums and couldn't find it. Is the quickest way to do make up the chord chart and then save and open it up in RealBand and then use that to produce the RealTracks and Drums?
Thanks for any advice - fantastic program as always. I just wish endings were better but I guess you can always edit and sort out endingsin a DAW program.

If you're used to BIAB, use that to get the general results you want. Then Render (WAV button) the song and check the 'One Wav file per track' option. Then use RB to import the Wav's.
If you need the chords in RB, you can Open the BIAB song from RB. You can then Generate the tracks.
Personally, I use BIAB to work on the arrangement and RB to tweak the final result.

Unless you need some of the features available in BIAB and not Real Band just load the file directly into RB. Then while listing to it place your part markers were you want them. Then delete the tracks you don't want and add the Real tracks that you do. This is how I do It. I usually only keep the piano part or whatever instrument that may play a phrase that's the hook of the tune.

I would do it in Real Band. You don't even have to create the chord grid in Biab first, you can do the whole thing from scratch in RB, it uses the same chord grid and part markers. As far as music creation is concerned, the only things you're missing from Biab are the midi soloists and harmonists. RB does everything Biab does with the midi styles but with 48 tracks including all the Real Tracks/Drums and the RT soloists. Biab does allow you to work with 1st/2nd endings, coda's etc while RB is a linear sequencer that simply displays the whole song in one big line so that may be a concern but not for me. It's a full DAW so you can do whatever you need to do right there to finish your project. Doing this in Biab first then saving all the midi and Real Tracks, then opening it up in Real Band is extra work imho.

I do most of my creations like ST mentioned because that is the fastest way and the easiest for me. Most of my songs now are covers, and i want a tad of the flavor of the original, like as he said a hook or signature sound.
