When you load a MIDI file into BIAB, it puts all the channels from that MIDI file into the Melody track. The other tracks (bass, drums, piano, etc) play based on the style selected, not on what's in the MIDI file. Since you loaded a MIDI file, generally what happens is that the current/default style gets muted, so you don't hear that, just the MIDI file. If there is an "X" next to the style name, that shows it is muted.

Using the sequencer feature of BIAB (green SEQ button), you can edit what happens on the melody track. You can include/exclude specific parts/channels, move things around, rechannel, etc.

What I often do is load the MIDI file, single out the melody track, move one of the other tracks (perhaps one that defines the song by the riffs played) to the soloist track, then mute everything else. I then find an appropriate style for the other tracks and make the song my own. It won't sound like the original, but that's what I want to do.

Play with it some, view the video tutorials, hit the butttons, etc. And then ask more questions on the forum. We're here to help, and like you, we were new to it at one time also.
