When I try to drag tracks to Cakewalk, I get the message "Selected files are not compatible with this operation"
Cakewalk does not accept multiple files simultaneously if one of the files is a MIDI file. MIDI files need to be imported individually. This is not specific to the Band-in-a-Box DAW Plugin.
The solution is to drag each track individually, rather than dragging all tracks using the blue [ALL] button in the Style Mix track. This applies if your song has one or more MIDI tracks.
