I'm new to the Reaper plugin and now have some time to work with it. I have BIAB 2026 songs that were created and generated in BIAB and I loaded them into the Reaper plugin. I then generated the songs in Reaper and then moved them to the DAW. When playing the songs, the Reaper plugin chords do not move in the FX Track window. Is that normal, no chord movement unless the song is completely constructed in the Reaper DAW with the BIAB plug in? If it's normal, then knowing that will save me hours of time trying to fix what's normal. Thanks

This tip grew out of several recent BIAB forum threads touching on wish list requests, DAW style workflows, and questions about why Band in a Box doesn’t duplicate tracks the way traditional DAWs do. Many of these discussions come from experienced users whose workflow focuses primarily on arranging, comping, and editing tracks after exporting them to a DAW rather than building complex, finished arrangements within BIAB itself. What often gets missed is that BIAB already provides powerful generation level tools that address many of these requests, but they work very differently from DAW post editing and may not be obvious when BIAB is approached with a DAW centric workflow. In BIAB, a RealTrack is a generated performance, not an existing audio clip. Before generation time, BIAB selects phrases from its RealTrack library and assembles them into a coherent musical performance based on the song structure, style, chords, and settings. BIAB generated tracks can represent RealTrack audio in ways that look similar to DAW tracks, which are audio. BIAB has advanced ways to copy generated audio under certain conditions, duplicating a DAW track, but the key distinction is that BIAB operates at the generation level before an actual audio file exists. The RealTracks Medley Maker works at this generation stage. It allows BIAB to duplicate the exact same RealTrack performance or generate variations of that performance, and to combine multiple RealTrack instruments into a single musical part. Because this happens before audio is finalized when rendered, BIAB can create multiple musically identical instruments that either play the exact same performance simultaneously or play different performances generated from the same musical intent. This functionality is already used throughout BIAB. Many factory created Styles include multiple RealTracks performing as a single musical part, either layering different instruments or using the same instrument more than once. These performances may be identical or subtly varied. In the RealTracks Picker, users can find Multi-Simultaneous RealTracks and Multi-Thickened RealTracks, which allow the same instrument to be used multiple times, or multiple instruments to be layered, either duplicating exact performances or generating variations, simultaneously or sequentially. The RealTrack Medley Maker tool is available individually on each of the 24 Mixer Tracks. DAWs can achieve similar musical results, but doing so typically requires generating and exporting multiple tracks from BIAB, importing them into a DAW, and then manually comping, editing, arranging, and adding fades, crossfades, and transitions across multiple tracks and tools. While this approach is powerful, it is more time-intensive and depends on additional software and workflow knowledge. A RealTracks Medley can produce the same musical outcome within BIAB in a single generation and render. Because RealTracks are generated performances, BIAB doesn’t duplicate tracks the way DAWs do. But, BIAB supports exact duplication and regenerated variation via the RealTracks Medley Maker, as well as through factory Styles and multi-instrument RealTracks in the RealTracks Picker. The real opportunity isn’t missing functionality, but improving discoverability and DAW-style access to BIAB’s existing generation-level duplication tools that's requested in the Wish list forum. To recap. BIAB duplicates and varies RealTracks at the generation level, not by copying existing audio (although it can do this). This allows BIAB to create musically identical or varied performances in a single render. Results that DAWs only achieve through exporting multiple tracks and doing extensive post-editing. Users can see a PGM created Multi-Simultaneous RealTrack used in a User Showcase original song post, "Money in the Bottle" by BabuMusic which uses RT-4395 added as an additional instrument to the Style.

I want to make a song ending where the last two bars/measures have whole note triplets over the first 6 beats and then stops at beat 3 of the second bar. In other words, in the last two bars, the instruments play in 6/8 but over the original 4/4 tempo. I've experimented with rests and motifs in microchord settings and changing the time signature and tempo but can't seem to get what I want. I'm particularly confused by the fact that the microchord dialog box still shows 4 beats when the time sig is set to 3/4! Is this correct or have I uncovered a bug? If this is as intended, how can it work?

Dear Anyone. Got a little collection of Maizeplayer VSTs because I loved the sounds on their walkthrough videos - and I can't make them work! I downloaded the player and the sounds as 2 separate downloads - this is for each of them - and the instructions said put the folder with the sounds in, in the same VST folder as the player. Which I have. I've now got 8 of the things. 2 of them actually DO work perfectly happily. The other 6 just come up saying 'Cannot find instruments'. ONE of them lets me double-click on it and locate its instruments, which it then loads. The other 5 won't let me do that, I've no idea why. The one that DOES, even though it's a Maizeplayer same as the others, won't let me load the other ones' sounds into it - again I don't know why, as they're all Maizeplayers, you'd think you could load eachothers' sounds into any of them. So I'm stumped and stuck with a collection of things that won't find their own sounds! Anyone got any ideas? If there IS a way to get one of them to play all the sounds, tell me and I'll do it that way. I've bought them all legit., which is even more annoying as it means I've chucked money away unless I can get them going (with your help.) Yours respectfully, Chris.
