Hi, I know that when I open a MIDI file even if it's MIDI1 where the tracks are all separated, it gets imported into the Meldoy part of Band-in-a-Box. But, I've created some of my own MIDI files over the years of song I played in bands when I was a kid, such as 2120 South Michigan Avenue by the Rolling Stones. Anyway, I was hoping to see if ReakTracks and RealDrums enhance these files. For the most part, I put these files together on SONAR using a Roland workstation, but I'm a guitarist and not so great on the keyboard, so what I couldn't input a measure at a time from the Roland, I entered and edited a note at a time in SONAR. Then I entered effects like pitch bend, volume fades, etc. by drawing them in, and finally I tweaked the parameters of each note indivudually (duration, velocity, etc.). As you can imagine, this was a painstaking labor of love  , and now I'd like to take the files to the next level. So I was wondering if there's a way around having the MIDI tracks in each file essentially boiled into one track and imported into the Melody part. Can each track in my MIDI file be imported to a separate part  ? Most of my MIDI files have a bass, guitar, organ, drums, and harmonica. A few include brass and strings. Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if there is a work-around someone with more experience than I knows of. Thanks 1000000!

The MIDI sequencer inside BIAB does have a few limited features that may help you out here.
The SEQ toolbar button should open a window that shows the tracks by channel if the MIDI file was saved as a MIDI type 1, which is on multitracks. If the file was saved as MIDI type 0, all the instruments will be on one track. Still, the program may separate them as to MIDI channels and not tracks and if it doesn't, you can open the file in Powertracks or Realband and use the Extract command and then save as MIDI type 1, which is the default. Then open up the file in BIAB and take a look again at the thing using the big green SEQ toolbar button.
Inside there, you can MUTE each MIDI track separately. So if you add, say, a BIAB Piano, there won't be two pianos dukin' it out.

That's great, Mac. I'll try it out.
Chesapeake? I'm in Schertz, Texas, but my son, who's in the Coast Guard lives in Chesapeake and works in Norfolk. Small world.
Again, thanks 1000000 for the help.

I grew up in Virginia Beach VA but moved to Willow Grove PA after my father was restationed and my mom got a job at Upenn. I hear the area is becoming much more built up since the 10 years I have been there. How are things down there?
