Conversion to a Performance Track for an mp3 version of the utility track will only work on one track. That leave all the other utility tracks to continue accumulating the large wave files. That is the price of trying to make BIAB into a DAW.

Hi Dan.

After reading your post, I went and tested. Here's what I did and the results.

1. Loaded a WAV into Audio and Utility Track #1.

2. Used Fre:ac to batch convert the two WAV files in the song's directory to mp3s.

3. Deleted the original WAV files in the directory. The mp3s had exactly the same name with just the mp3 extension rather than WAV.

4. I opened BIAB. The two audio files didn't load automatically so I imported them into their respective track.

3. I saved the song and exited BIAB.

When I looked at the folder, the mp3s that I imported have now been converted back to WAV files.

Ergo... my process suggested above did not work.

It seems like Trevor's idea of making a wish is the best option.

Regards,
Noel
