Thanks Andrew, Those suggestions resolved a lot of the issues, but a few things still aren't right. Also, should I do the Rebuild Style Picker process in the non-DAW version...the one I referred to as Standalone?
Just so that we're using the same terminology, I'll clear this up first. I had referred to what PG Music call the Band-In-A-Box Program as the Standalone mode, because with most other software, for instance Kontakt, when not using it as a Plugin in a DAW, it's referred to as being in Standalone.
I see that in BIAB terminology you have the DAW Plugin as a plugin within the DAW, but you can also open that "version" as a Standalone whether or not your DAW is running. When using the DAW Plugin as Standalone or as a Plugin there is no MIXER. I'm not sure how or why other people use the DAW Standalone...is there a specific reason for this version? This puzzles me.
As you can see from my attached screenshots, #1 and #2 show the song I had started in the BB Program Mode opening properly in the DAW version both in Standalone and as a plugin within Studio One. I was able to Play through the song in both modes. However, when you compare the number and type of tracks in the song as seen in Screenshot #1 & #2 with Screenshot #3, (which is the original BB Prgm version from a few days ago), in the DAW modes (1&2) the song didn't load the Drum Stems at all. This leads me to think that when writing in the Prgrm mode, anything done on the Utility tracks would not be included when opening in DAW mode...I hope this is not so.
I'm going on a bit here, so will finish by saying that your suggestions worked with the exceptions I've pointed out. What I'm after is the ability to use the BB Prgrm mode for initial stages of writing, to experiment with varying chord patterns and such...I'm liking the flexibility as a writing/arranging tool; and then at any stage of the song process move over into Studio One where I can combine what I've done in BIAB with other tracks and mixing suites of Studio One.
There's a lot to learn and fortunately I have the time. Thanks for your suggestions, and I'm sure I'll be back asking questions in the forums quite a bit as I explore the potential of this new-found program.
