Thanks for listening. And don't forget, I haven't played professionally since the early fifties so no nitpickin'. I hear the mistakes and the lousy passages as much or more than you do but what the hell?

What I gotta learn how to do now is 'edit' out my bad stuff and insert some good stuff where needed. And no comments about, "How's about deleting and replacing the whole damn thing." I'm just getting back into it since retirement and learning about BiaB and other PGMusic programs so gimme a break.

For the benefit of those BiaB and PTAudio nuts who are interested in the way I did this...

First off, I'm using a Pentium 120 with a SoundBlaster Awe64 card and a Roland SC88vl Sound Canvas. First thing I did was to convert the BiaB format of the song into a midi file and sent it to my PowerTracksAudio directory. Load it in to PTAudio and get ready for the fun.

Next, I set my midi devices to input of Roland Serial Midi Input and output to Creative midi instr. map. Now ready to convert the midi output into a wave file. I allowed all tracks (Piano, bass and drums) to play with a blank audio track highlighted for recording. Next step is to take the 'output' jack of the SBAwe64 card and using a short jumper cable plug the other end into the 'input' jack of the SBAwe64.

Press record and let 'er rip. You should now have the entire rhytmn section in one audio file.

I next plugged in my guitar (with a jack adapter) into the 'input' of the SBAwe64 and recorded onto a new audio track. The only problem here is that you can't really hear yourself amplified as you play. In any event, go ahead and play your part.

Finally, highlight both tracks from beginning to ending and merge the two files into one wave output.

It works for me and if anybody has any suggestions as to another way to do this give me a buzz via email.
