Ha!! I finally found it!!! You import a MIDI file by dragging it to BIAB anywhere!!!! I did it!! I brought in a guitar part and a bass part and when the dialogue box gave me the option, I put them on Utility Tracks 1 and 2!!

Now my problems are, how do I get the automatic label out of the track description--it put what I typed in parenthesis so at least it's there, but sheesh, those tracks are not pianos--and how do I access all my MIDI patches? The GM patches won't populate at all. There must be some weird programming in the MIDI file.

I've discovered that the dialogue boxes for importing files allow you to specify the lead in count, so now I know that I don't have to worry about that when I bring in an audio file. I need three of them and since two are for sporadic background harmonies, I think I'll take your example, Charlie, and make short recordings that I'll put in specific bars.

Slippery slope sure is right. It's taken me weeks--WEEKS--to finally understand this simple thing.

Love is always worth the risk.
