Allow Drag n Drop (Default=true). If disabled, the Drag Drop feature will not work. There shouldn’t be a reason
to disable this.
“Drag Individual MIDI tracks as audio (using VST/DXi)” (default=false). When enabled, the chosen MIDI
tracks get converted to audio, using your currently selected VST/DXi (e.g. Roland VSC, or Forte)
Drag Combo track as audio (using VST/DXi) (default=true). When enabled, the entire arrangement gets
converted to audio using your currently selected VST/DXi (e.g. Roland VSC, or Forte). If not selected, the MIDI
tracks in the arrangement get transferred as MIDI, in a single file.
Drag Combo as separate tracks (default=false). If set to true, when dragging the Combo radio button, the drop
will result in multiple files, one for each track.
Drag Audio as WAV/WMA. If set to WAV, the audio gets dropped as WAV. If set to WMA, the audio gets
dropped as WMA. Note that most sequencers will want WAV files.
Always on Top. If set, the plug-in window will be always-on-top. Note that if you change this in the dialog, it
won’t take effect until you exit the dialog.
Preserve dragged files permanently in folder. (default=false). When you drag a file, Band-in-a-Box makes a
copy of it and puts it in the c:\bb\DragDrop folder. This is a temp folder. Most DAWS (and Windows Explorer)
take the dropped file, and make their own copy of it to incorporate into their file structure, but some don’t (e.g.
“pure” wav editors like SoundForge). So if you are dropping the files to a DAW that works with dropped files and
doesn’t make a local copy of them (like CoolEdit or SoundForge), then you should set the “Preserve dragged files
permanently in folder c:\bb\DragDrop” to true. Otherwise, Band-in-a-Box will recycle (trash) the files in the
DragDrop folder on boot up. You can retrieve these files from the trash if needed.
You can use a Custom Drag n Drop Folder for the temp files if you prefer, inside your DAW’s folder for example.
Then the dragged files will also be in Explorer in a folder near your DAW’s audio project.
