When I enter chords, etc., then pick a style, I get RealBand instruments.

What I want to do is make a backing track in midi, not RealBand so I can save the file as a midi, and later open
it in RealBand for editing, etc..

I know years ago I made some tracks using BIAB, and saved
them as midi files. But since upgrading to 2016 I haven't been able to make midi tracks.

Any help would be great.

Wayne

Open the StylePicker

In the upper left of the window locate Categories, Time signature.... etc buttons

Open the drop down menu of the Type button

From the menu, select Midi Only (no Real)

With that selected, the StylePicker will only display MIDI Styles
________________

Some MIDI Styles will still have Realdrums

Open Option\Preferences\RealDrums

Unclick Substitute RealDrums for Midi Drums

You can also Rt Click on the Drums Channel in the Mixer and select Force Drums Track to Midi Drums

Charlie's good advise will sort your problem out.

However, just to clarify, I think you might be getting RealBand and RealTracks mixed up.
- RealBand is the DAW program.
- RealTracks and RealDrums are the live (not MIDI) recordings

Thanks all!

BTW yeah I posted it as realband instead of realtracks.
You know what I meant. LOL

I use realband to edit the midis.

Thanks again! Wayne

Wayne,

It also sounds like you might possibly have the Realtracks automatically being substituted for MIDI tracks. This is BIAB's default behaviour.

The top image (1) below shows how to deactivate this under the Realtracks button.

If you want to deactivate this as a global override, go to "Options | Preferences" and select "Realtracks" and deactivate "Auto-replace MIDI styles with Realtracks when the song is loaded". The name might be slightly different in your version of BIAB. (See image (2) below.)

Regards,
Noel
