Just thought I'd post a tip. I wanted to use the loops from my sonar installation within BIAB, but I didn't want to copy and paste the whole lot into the Loops directory of BIAB. I used this command from an administrator command prompt:
mklink /D D:\bb\RealTracks\Loops\cakewalk "G:\Cakewalk Content\Audio Library\Loops"
This command creates a symbolic link called cakewalk within my bb directory (as you can see it's installed on D:) which points to the loops within sonar. The quotes are required as there are spaces in the path.
Apologies for the double post - I put the original post in the wrong forum. Thanks to Pat Marr for pointing this out.

... all my cakewalk loops are *.rx2 files -- does BIAB understand what to do with those? (obviously I haven't tried this trick out yet!).

According to the manual BIAB can use wav, wma, m4a, mp4 & mp3 loops. The Rx2 loops won't appear in the "Pick a Loop" dialog. The main source of cakewalk loops that BIAB can use in my setup are the loopmaster ones.

I found the section that has the WAV files in it -- mine are in the \loops\one shot\loopmasters\ folder. I have another folder called \loops\loopmasters\ that is all *.rx2 files. Now the BIAB loops have all those associated *.bt1 and *.bt6 files, which I assume allow them to be stretched time-wise. What happens to the sonar *.wav files?
I'll have to give this tip a try one day.

Because BB don't read the embedded loop information in wav loops you need to sit down and put it all in manually
for every single loop you have and that makes an associated *.bt6 file that has the info in it.
