Currently importing midi files is a bit ridiculous. Importing the file creates a new song, which we then have to save as a separate song which litters my file system, then import song data from that song, which also doesn't actually work. Markers are not imported using this method, so this doesn't work properly. Not sure if its a bug.

The current method | am using is as follows:

- rename the midi file prior import, to the name of the song I want to create

- drag the midi file onto the intial SO window prior opening a song

- import audio tracks to that song, use that as the actual song

This process needs to be simplified. Opening a new song when importing midi data? Why? Who needs that? Exactly, no one needs that.

At the very least this process needs to be put in an SEO indexed article which can be search by ex PT/Reaper/Cubase/et al users.

This is how the process should work:

- import midi data

- midi data imported, the end
