I know I have a history of being somewhat of a midi crybaby :) but this isn't that. I loaded in a standard midi file into Reaper and another daw, the purpose for doing that is irrelevant but what happened was the bass track imported into Reaper an octave lower. So everything else sounded the same, same instruments, Kontakt, so it didn't transpose the entire song like it was just globally set to import an octave away, obviously, the drums would have been off if it had done that, but it just transposed that one track down an octave. Odd. Just thought I'd mention it. When people (singers) want to do cover songs for band audition cd's or whatever, I mostly use midi cover song tracks from the net. This was an Anita Baker song. If Schwa wants the midi file to have a look at why it did that, I'll dig it up and attach it. Thanks.
