Bob and Mac,

Bob: This is the procedure that I have been using. I thought that perhaps there was a menu that I was missing.

Mac: I checked both programs to be sure and they are the same.

FWIW: Does it have any bearing that I can sing an audio track into this file and be in time?

A simple workaround is that I can start a file in RB and if the need arises for a midi file to open the file and record midi in PT and then reopen the file in RB.

Thanks for your input.

Don S.
