Thanks Scook. Sounds so obvious now you've said it. I'll try tonight when I can escape the clutches !

Zaquria - yes exactly right - thanks ! I hadn't realised you could have 2 projects open at once and drag from 1 to the other - never had that luxury before on my previous midi editors (which are v old and basic). I'll try that too as an experiment I've go some learning to do - in between the wife's priority jobs ha ha.

Thank you again guys for your help and esp 905133 for the screen shots. I've just played around with 2 midi files and got them in a new blank project 'in sequence' - ie one following the other. Yes there are tracks in the 2nd file that need moving up / down so same patches (eg bass guitar) end up in a row. Now looks like your pasted screenshot 905133 ! Now I'm looking in the event list and can see by track the notes programme and volume commands etc where the which I know I will have to edit / remove esp at the transition from file 1 to file 2. Must admit I don't find this event list easy to understand at the mo but it's all a bit new. I am struggling to see how to insert types of meta data in the event list - but that's because it's all new. I did and still do all my editing in XGWorks (yes a Windows 98 editor !) - but frankly very easy to edit meta data. And let's face it - midi is just a series of events. I don't use the VSTs - I just play the midi out into my external GM sound machine (it's a Merish) which is actually used on stage for our band's midi backing tracks. So the VSTs will not help as they won't represent the actual sound (or volume etc) of the 'live' machine. The Merish is loaded with the performance midi tracks as a playlist. No PCs !! OK final quick question on this as a process - I've got the 2 midi files now in the one project. Now I want to create one new midi file of the medley (the output !). If I go Edit - Select All - and then Export - I can't see how to get a new midi file out, which will be the medley (everything is greyed out).

Thank you Zaquria and 905133. Just to be clear - each midi file typically has 12 tracks - so after the first file is loaded from measure 1 and ends at 120 - I need the 2nd midi file to start from measure 121. Zaquria I am not familiar yet on handling clips - but can the clip contain the 12 tracks all stemming from the 2nd midi file ?

Hi clever guys !! I'm still learning the software - but has anyone some tips or pointers on how to create a midi medley from 3 different midi files (or 2 or 4 !!) My old Midi software programme is too clunky to do this and hoping Bandlab might have sufficient midi edit tools. Basically if I load one midi file and eg it finishes at measure 120, how can I load another midi file at eg measure 121 (1 bar for transition). I know I'll have a few programme changes and channel volumes to change at the transistion - except drums will stay same and maybe bass. Probably swap some tracks about to 'line up' any voices staying same. In principle can Bandlab do that ? Any key steps you'd suggest ? Many thanks Andy
