OK Rachael, I think I misunderstood you. I am not assigning the soloist part to the strings, I am simply having BIAB generate an instrument (say, the harmonica) over the entire strings track, then editing out the bits I don't want. Is that it?

I had misunderstood the directions as suggesting that I was copying the soloist track to an empty track.

Thank you once again, Rachael and jazzmandan.

FirstBassman: I think that I will do as you suggest.

Cheers

John
