POLL: Does anyone use Band-in-a-Box to create midi files and then import the midi into Sonar?

Yeah, I usually even have to remember to save the last version to disk, since that copy-to-buffer is so darn convenient. Awful lot of ways of going about that export, tho - what's your problem?

I can't help but think that Elvis wouldn't be concerned about BITB and would be tucking into that pizza

Roflcopter, BIAB is easy to setup a drum and bass part in MIDI, and then I add the audio in Sonar. I had a latency problem on playback. The MIDI and audio started getting out of sync on playback.

(strikinglyhandsome1... that was funny)

Assuming you have everything in the right tempo etc, it sounds like a latency thing, something in your sound setup. Nothing to do with BiaB, or midi.

Yeah, it's amazing how I stay so lean on a measly 5900 calories a day. [gets another fried banana with peanutbutter]

What version of Band-in-a-box are you using? Also are you using the Virtual Synths with it as this builds in a fixed amount of latency as per the supplied VSC DXI Plugin which might be your problem.

I would just select the TTS-1 as DXI, I prefer its sound over the VSC anyway. Never have anything out of kilter in Sonar that way either, since I usually just connect the midi in Sonar to a TTS-1 instance there as well - I can even have both programs open at the same time, like I said.

It's a great timesaver in my setup.

roflcopter is right - I use BIAB for drums especially and other backing tracks as well all the time. the latency has nothing to do with BIAB and MIDI tracks being imported into sonar -it has to do with your system - almost exclusivley your soundcard and its drivers. what soundcard are you using?

I actually use Realtracks and Realdrums from BIAB and import those into Sonar ... it's a beautiful thing. Audio only, not MIDI. Using the latest version of BIAB with all the additional RealTracks.

Cheers,

Funny, I use it strictly for the midi functions, so upgrading my 2007 is totally pointless, for me - all the new stuff is audio, indeed. And I create my own styles, so even multistyles is not really essential for me.
