Can't save a recorded song to a midi file   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #34015 of 36639 |
Re: [Band-in-a-Box] Re: Can't save a recorded song to a midi file

A suggestion..
Use a USB "memory stick" as well as the internal BIAB files to save things that
you are working on. They are relatively cheap and you can stick them in your
pocket.
Then if you need to recall a particular saved rendition, stick it in any USB
port and have BIAB read it in from its desinated drive.
A relatively cheap way to avoid the frustration that comes with a lost piece of
work,

Regards,
David Latham
