Mix all the files in a DAW - I used Audacity (freeware) until recently. Now I use Presonus Studio One Pro 5.1.

Hope this helps...

A lot of BIAB advances and development occurred during the 90's when multi track recorders were king in small studios and home studios and a lot of multi track procedures, techniques and principles ended up in the BIAB Mixer. Since then, although software DAW's have become the standard, today, operating BIAB as a multi track recorder is in many cases, more advanced than hardware multi track recorders. There are several reasons for this. The MIDI features of BIAB, BIAB MST's and access to RealTracks and RealDrums when used with Audio and the Artist Performance Track feature really take BIAB track generating to a higher level of complexity and automation that are overshadowed by the ease, power and features of DAWs. The Artist Performance Track feature allows audio files to reside on other BIAB Mixer Channels and files are easily moved between the Audio Channel and all the other BIAB Mixer Channels. At first glance, it appears the BIAB Mixer is limited to 8 channels and only one Audio Channel to record to. Although there's only the single audio channel, it can be used over and over again by moving audio files to other BIAB Mixer Channels and converting them to Artist Performance Tracks.

lambada and Deb, with the method Deb uses to record multiple audio tracks, by using Artist Performance Tracks, you can save time and have BIAB automate the process of naming and saving files to use in your DAW. I'll be happy to give you the steps if that's something you want to try out. It's very easy once you've gone through the steps and is quite a time saver.
