I load a style (MIDI only, no Real) then add some chords and tell it to generate a song. Now I would like to export one of the tracks (guitar) to my DAW but I can't get it to work. I'm using BIAB 2022 UltraPak on Windows 10/64.
If I select Clipboard in MIDI export section I don't get anything transferred to my DAW. If I click and drag from a track at top of the BIAB window to my DAW nothing gets dragged. It just shows the circle with a diagonal line through it showing that I can't drag anything out of the BIAB track. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to activate something in preferences first in order for it to work?
Thanks!

Try dragging it to the 'MID' item in the DAW drop-zone first, and then drag it from there to your DAW:

As soon as I click on the radio button I get the circle with the diagonal line. How do I get around that problem? One of the BIAB videos on YouTube shows it working, but I can't get it to work.

Don't worry about that. Drag the track to the mid window as AT suggested, click on the DAW window, open your DAW, click on the + and drag it to your DAW.

OK MarioD, great instructions. I tried what you said and it works, but now it works too well. When I drag from the + sign into my DAW it doesn't drag only the guitar track, it drags ALL of the tracks into a single MIDI track. So, the guitar track sounds all jumbled. How do I get it to drag ONLY the guitar track?
I think I don't understand the meaning of the color of each track. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

I think you can also drag on the 'MID' button (wherever you landed before) and drag that to your DAW. Check things such as Tempo etc are setup in your DAW to match the incoming material before you drag. Perhaps this assists also.

hate to argue with Mario who has forgotten more than i'll ever know but don't drag from the plus sign. when you drag the radio button of the chosen midi track to the drop zone midi segment, it will turn green. drag the green box not the plus sign.

that just worked fine for me.
Yep Bob. That's exactly the way I do it also.

That's interesting. When I choose one track and drag it to the mid window and then in DAW mode drag from the plus sign to either my DAW or my desktop I get only that one track. The only time I get everything is when I drag the master to the mid window.
I just tried it your way and that works also.
I wonder why my way doesn't work for you.

maybe the drag and drop settings are diferent? under hte options -DawPLugin - settings mine are here but can't see what might afffect single midi files
Good thought. Here are my settings. The only difference is I do not have drag master track as audio checked. I can not see how that would make a difference.
This is weird!

maybe the + symbol is exporting the midi files as audio and that's what's playing? would explain why the OP gets all the instruments playing - maybe they are playing as audio not MIDI?
anyway we've all got it to work for what we want it to do

Right. But after working in research for almost 40 years these anomalies have a propensity to drive me

OK, I don't know what has changed since my original post (I didn't change anything myself) but it seems to be working better now. What is strange is that when I drag directly from the radio button on the track name on top of the window it doesn't work but when I drag first to the MID tab on the left of the screen and then from the + sign to my DAW, it seems to work.
Thanks to all for the information. BIAB is an unbelievably great program and the user forum is fantastic!

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
