...another way which is a lot faster that trying to edit the file itself. That is by saving the drum midi file as a "separate drum tracks", that way when loaded into whatever sequencer you're using you can get rid of the "offending" tracks in one wack, rather than deleting note by note.
Maybe this info can help somebody else.



Sounds great, Cubanpete, thanks.

I presume I could do this kind of midi editing with Ableton Live? I mean, I don't own any other "sequencer"... or could I do that in Realband? Is Ableton overkill for this, should I consider getting a simpler midi editor or sequencer program? Excuse my newbishness.

I am using BIAB (now 2010) for songwriting, (musical theatre) I generally save to .wav my BIAB backing tracks... I'd love to be able to customize them more... altough I must admit I've probably only scratched the surface of what I can do in BIAB. I've just created my first hybrid style, and that works a treat, it seems a great way to have a broad stylistic variation within a song while keeping some elements the same and thus feeling like they belong in the same song.

Once I'm done in BIAB, I then export as .wav into Audacity and record my vocals there then export the vocal .wavs (frequently multiple tracks with harmonies etc) into Melodyne where I pitch correct and do a final mix adding reverb and panning etc.

Any suggestions welcome, I'm just experimenting with my process.
Thanks,
Bandmoose
