Where do I get the MIDI Files I use in Band in a Box - Tutorial

Hiya, I still use my Atari ST to make music and compose. My question is, how would I go about getting midi files from my PC to the Atari since it uses 3.5 floppies ?

Hello, Henry. This is an off-subject question for you and/or any of your followers: Is it possible to enter lyrics in Band In A Box for Mac? The manual says it can be done, but is very vague on how to do it! I'd be grateful if anyone seeing this question would respond. Thanks, Henry for all your hard work showing all the possibilities of Band In A Box. You're a treasure to the PG Music community! Please keep up the good work!

Henry, Thank You for all the Band in the Box info 😂

Thanks. I’ve been curious.
I have gotten some quality midi files free. But most of the time they are just a starting point for me. And I end up spending so much time editing them that I wonder why I didn’t just do it from scratch myself. 😂

NO BREAK! TYPE 1! NO BREAK! TYPE 1! NO BREAK! but where do I put my newly purchased MIDI files to use in BIAB?

[ricmid]

Yes, well I agree with most of what you say, however some the files that I have purchased from Hittrax have been very lame (and that's being kind!), I think the whole exercise of buying files is a lottery, some are good some not, and the method of "auditioning" the files on most (if not all the sites that sell files), is primitive and usually does not give you much of an idea of the arrangement, patches etc plus, very often the part of the file available for audition is not representative of the song (who wants to listen to 15 seconds of an intro for example). So I have to disagree about Hittrax and if that site is your favourite or best, I wonder what the others are like - I will find out.

Can you use band in a box to make your own creations or is it just to use with midi files?
