The DXi is invoked for automatic "Rendering". If you use only RealTracks and no MIDI sounds, you can still use the DXi Render to make a wav or mp3 file of your song. Afterwards, BIAB opens the MIDI select window automatically so that you can UNcheck that "Use DXi" button again and continue on as before.

Another method, which depends on your soundcard type, is to record the song to the single Audio track in BIAB as it plays back. Soundcards that can route their output to their input internally can do this (What U Hear or Stereo Mix or some other name may be used in the Record Properties to denote this ability).

If you have a vocal or acoustic instrument already recorded to the single Audio track in BIAB, then the record to Audio won't help you because you already have something on that track. RealBand might be the answer, or export all your tracks and open them in your Cakewalk for the finish to wav.

BTW -- I often just play BIAB back while recording in another recording program to capture the thing. Just set BIAB to MME audio drivers so that only one program is attempting to use ASIO drivers at a time and open your recording program, set the soundcard properties for the armed stereo track to record the output and record the song from start to finish in the sequencer. Audacity works great for this and when the recording part is done I go to Effects, Gain Change and immediately set the gain to about -1.8dB for most musics, it turns things up and sound much better because most MIDI synths are low in output by design.
