Later on in this thread, the OP came back and said he meant to say 'drag the tracks.' I seriously believe he is looking for exactly what BIAB can do, which is to generate a backing track based on a chord progression.

Dan, you said "Creating midi chord progressions for transfer to your DAW has got some very solid players out there for which this is really all the program does. On the other hand, this is not the primary or even secondary design intent of BIAB."
I think that's incorrect. I would be willing to guess that most people move their BIAB files over to a DAW, whether it's PowerTracks Pro Audio, RealBand, or in my case, Cakewalk X3 (outdated, I know, but it does what I want it to do).

A DAW gives you so much more flexibility in working with tracks, especially if you're mixing MIDI and Audio before converting everything to audio. Now, I'm not really familiar with Ableton, and the videos I looked at describing it weren't very helpful. But, moving BIAB tracks to a DAW, IMHO, is really the best way to work. One of the reasons that BIAB is now a plugin for most DAWs. Think about that one for a second!

The OP may want to use it all in MIDI, which is his choice. He's got more freedom for editing, some of the sound libraries out there today are light years away from the old Soundblaster cards and even a synth from 15 years ago, like my Korg PA800 is. So, I can see the allure of working in purely MIDI, if you can do the editing.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
