Reading the Audio and MIDI tracks into other programs
If you have a Band-in-a-Box song that has an audio track as well, and want to export that song to a sequencer like
PowerTracks Pro Audio, follow these steps:
- For a song called MYSONG.MGU
, the associated .WAV file (audio track) will be called MYSONG.WAV.
- You should make a MIDI file (by pressing the .MID button). Save the .MID in the same folder as the song.
Then your sequencer can read the entire file by doing the following inside your sequencer:
- Open the MIDI file.
- Import the .WAV file track into the sequence.
Tip: PowerTracks Pro Audio recognizes that this is a Band-in-a-Box file with a wave file associated with it, and will offer to
read them both in. In earlier versions of PowerTracks Pro and other sequencers you'll need to follow the steps above.
Rendering Audio Files
Direct-to-Disk Audio Rendering
Audio rendering means converting a song to audio format, usually to a WAV file. You can render directly to disk,
choose the “Save As WAV” (Audio Conversion) option, and your Band-in-a-Box file will save to disk in WAV
format in a matter of seconds!
