By way of background information, just in case you are not aware of this, Realtracks are audio files and not MIDI files. Audio is the equivalent of a CD recording whereas MIDI files are a sequence of computer commands that drive electronic instruments.

When a backing that uses Realtracks saves as MIDI, it is not saving the audio file. Rather, it is saving a transcription of the audio file that someone has created. This transcription is used for notation purposes. Not all Realtracks have associated transcriptions.

The names of Realtrack are green when loaded. If a track has associated notation then it will have a green line under the name.

If you have a look at the image below, the green names indicate Realtracks, the yellow names indicate MIDI tracks (which will have notation), and since the Strings has a line underneath it, it indicates that there is notation associated with whatever is on the Strings track. The other Realtracks do not have notation.

From what you describe, it sounds like not all the tracks you used had an associated notation MIDI file.

Can I ask why you are saving as a MIDI file? If you want to get the best sound, you'd be better to save as an audio file.
