By far the surest way is to open the midi file in BiaB using the File|Open midi File menu command. Now you can start to import the song into BiaB. That way you have an easily available backup. It's important to have a local copy of the MIDI file in case of mistakes. Make sure it's in a sensible location you can find easily such as \My Documents\Midi Files\. Once you've found the perfect midi version of your desired song download it to you local hard drive. You only have two tracks with which to define the song, the melody and solo tracks so it's important to have the defining melody available for these tracks. Remember, BiaB will ultimately be laying down five tracks for you, drums, piano, bass, guitar and strings. Others have authentic sounding instrument tracks. Files of this type won't be very good as BiaB songs. Some are little more than drum tracks with the vocal line played over it from a midi keyboard. The more popular songs have been copied into midi by many different people and in many different ways. The next most important thing is to find the best quality midi version of the song you are about to import. What makes the song identifiable? Is it the vocals, the bass, the lead guitar? You will need to know this in order to get the best sounding BiaB song you can. Try to identify the style, number and type of instruments and especially any different parts. The first, and probably most important, thing to do before trying to import a midi file into BiaB is get to know the song as well as you possibly can.
