When I export a song as midi and want to open it in any other DAW the midi file is empty. What could be the problem?

Welcome to the forums.

More detail, please:
- What is the Style you are using?
- What steps (exactly) do you take to export the file?
- What version / build of BiaB are you using?
- What brand/version are 'any other DAWs'?

Yes, welcome. You have to regenerate the song first. Could that be it? If not, then it will help us to know the info that AudioTrack requested.

I use the latest version of BIAB. I tried different styles, but same resuts. I am exporting after generating the style. I also do audio rendering which is working perfect. I tried to import the midi file in Cubase, Reason and Ableton nothing is working. I did not export midi for a long time but in the past on my old pc it was always working perfectly. I also cannot drop midi into my daw when using it as a vst.

One of the questions was:

You didn't mention what steps you took, so I can only guess what you did.

I just tried this method and it worked perfectly:

Alright, I did not drag and drop it on the midi target. I did save special save song as midi and that was not working but drag and drop is working. Thanks a lot for your help, it'sreally great now I can edit it further in my DAW.

Regards,

Martijn

Just checking, what is your build #? Find this in Help, About. I have a reason for asking.

Excellent. I'm pleased this assisted.

You may wish to open your original post and mark it as 'Resolved' (there is a button for that). This can assist others in the future.

True. I’m still puzzled about the method that does not work. I thought that had been reported and fixed.

I just tried 'Save Special' > 'Save as MIDI File' and it was unsuccessful for me. It only produced a drum hit on each beat of the bar, nothing else. I tried several variations of settings, including Type 0 as well as Type 1.

I'll report it, referencing this thread.

Exactly only the drum hit so that's why I was confused because before it just saved all the midi tracks and I could load them in Cubase where they where imported as separate midi tracks.

Thanks for your own feedback. This issue has been (re)-reported to the developers for attention. Hopefully, a fix, soon.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
