I noticed there was an improvement in BIAB and the drag feature. For some reason, I am not able to see the tracks, as I do in RB, to drag out of BIAB and onto my DAW. I select the DAW button that shrinks the window. But, all it does is shrink the chord window with no access to the individual tracks to drag out. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

You should be able to click and drag from the track names at the top of the window in the instrument panel. If that's not working, perhaps you have "Allow drag and drop" disabled in the DAW Options dialog?

Oh, you mean instead of looking for a window which will show the physical tracks to drag I am to drag the name of the part i.e. "Guitar","Piano" etc. correct? I have not considered that. I knew I was missing something.

Thanks, I will try it when I get home from the office tonight.

Yes, that is correct.

Or drag "Combo" (as I learned) if you want to just have all the instruments in one track.

There is a checkbox in the Drag and Drop Options so that you can drag Combo and still get all the separate tracks. It's getting too easy.

Yep. Just added a few builds ago. Big time saver over the old ways.
