Thanks Jim,

I found a workaround that might provide some clues.

I have to go to preferences each time I use it or change something to click OK (in preferences) and say "yes I would like to still use the same preferences I chose last time" and it will work for another session or half-session.

One thing I do not find intuitive is how to choose midi, let's say a super track, and have that play through the VST in a DAW. I see the cick box to do that, but no "after the click" choices to route that midi trick to the DAW.

Where do you do that??

Maybe it is in a previous post or manual part that I cannot find or have over looked.

Thanks if anyone knows how to do this.

To summarize, all I want to do is:

1) Open Cakewalk or Sonar

2) Choose BIAB VST3

3) Open an Existing Midi Style file

4) Select a Midi Super Track in the BIAB VST

5) Play the chords/music in said song on Super track only routed through DAW (on an assigned DAW track with a VST instrument loaded).

6) Be able to change the chords in said song in BIAB VST and play again. Just the midi.

Do If have to "regenerate"? If so how to regenerate just the midi without choosing another style, which is SEEMS to be asking me to do at the moment.

7) Learn how to do this quickly without watching a 4 hour video.

8) Is there some kind of a step by step somewhere????


MY GOAL:

For songwriting purposes, I want an EASY way to use BIAB with minimal instrumentation, probably just a piano super track, so I can fiddle with chords, INSIDE THE DAW, and then press PLAY, either with or without "Regenerating" (I don't want to go to .wav generation yet, only work in midi until the song is done.

I want to build this as a template so I can re-tool songs inside the VST as midi at lighting speed before I settle on tempo and chord progression.

So, that is why I am asking what I am asking.

My brains works best with step by step if it exists.

Thanks!!
