I know man!Oh yeah, well fuck you too!
Just kidding Boob, I love you man!
Time to watch some Saints whip up on those bitch ass falcons!
when I'm 85 can I come live with you?Will you be my internet dad Bob?
Don't read into that. I meant it as a compliment.
it prolly varies from day to dayI love Bob because he reminds me of me. Wait, doesn't that mean I should hate him? Oh well, whatever.
when I'm 85 can I come live with you?

Perhaps not... it's always possible. Computers make a lot of people feel angry and helpless. Some see red and say all sorts of shit when they get worked up. Just like some people change when they get behind the wheel of a car. You can't make fine judgements across the internet so easily. People are ruder on the internet because they have distance between them. The way it goes, sometimes.
You gotta be a special kind of dummy to fail with every DAW.
Hey Johnny,
Importing MIDI.
It sounds like you have a midi file that contains data for several different tracks.
Some DAWS will just dump all that data on a single track, which is a nightmare.
I guess they have an option to keep the tracks separate. In truth, I'd have to look that up myself.
I don't know where you're getting these files, but if you're exporting them from elsewhere, look into exporting each track separately.
If you're really stuck, start a thread about it in the reaper section.
On the other hand, if your current work flow works for you and you're not restricted...Stick with it.
You can always create your final WAV through your current methods, then dump it into REAPER for mastering, if that tickles you.
I don't use DAWS but I do use MIDI and that sounds like your Mixvraft and Bandcamp automatically assign voices to the MIDI tracks. Perhaps something like a General Midi set .... but Reaper wants you to assign the voices.Thanks much for your reply.. I will go to the Reaper section & read there..
As far as Midi files, I just found a bunch on the Web, mostly country. Some come in on separate tracks, (not all), then I can delete the Melody & use the rest of the tracks as backing tracks for the song.. Where I get stuck is that if I import the Midi song into Mixcraft or Real Band it plays it immediately without me altering any VSTs or anything else. Yet I import the same Midi into Reaper I get no sound.. Not Reaper's fault of course, but my lack of understanding VSTs etc.. I'm assuming because Reaper being so far advanced, it's assuming I am more learned than I am.. I tried reading, watching You Tube etc. etc. just can't seem to grasp & install these VSTs. I've downloaded oodles of them. yet can't install them properly to get any sound ..

The thing you want to remember about MIDI is that there is NO music information there at all.
A good way to look at it would be if you use MIDI with a keyboard what it's basically recording is keystrokes. It's telling the keyboard that a certain key was pressed and for how long it was pressed and how hard etc. But if you didn't have a voice selected on the keyboard you'd get no sound just the same as if you walked up and played the keyboard you'd get no sound.
All the MIDI I do is on keyboards so the MIDI tracks are essentially doing the exact same thing as a physical person would be doing if he actually pressed the keys ..... sorta an electronic player piano except the keys don't move.
Maybe this different way of visualizing what's going on will help.
So you can have all the MIDI in the world but it will never smake any sounds unless there are sounds chosen fir the MIDI to make when it presses the virtual keys. Obviously in Reaper you need to do that whereas your other programs are doing it for ya'
So don't give up .. someone here will show you how to do it.
BTW ..... I'm old too.
Oh, and for finding MIDIs go to VanBasco.com and use their MIDI Search Engine ...... type in a song or artist and you'll find it id it's out there.
Be ready to go days without sleep as you download a zillion MIDIs.
