Now ya got me confused again. lol. Everything else you said makes perfect sense. But if I record directly into garageband--it will not export midi files---. So being that I use the melody to build my songs from in biab how could I ever export a melody from garageband and get it into the melody track for biab? Also you can only import midi files into the mac version of biab so I'm not sure how you're getting the melody from garageband into biab.
