Hi All
Looking for help
When I export a realtrack from Realband to Reaper(im trying it out for the first time)the track sounds considerably worse flangey or wah wah(sounds like its had a hard night)
I understand from a previous post a while back that it could be something to do with EQ and that realtracks have added reverb built in.
The track is close to bpm of song and plays well in audacity.
Ive looked at preferences in Realband and their seems to be no effects turned on in Reaper either.
Any advice welcome
Thanks Hugh

Bit Rate mismatch?
Maybe try setting Reaper to 16/44 before importing.


Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Hugh,

I have used Reaper for a number of years now. It's excellent software. It sounds like you might have saved the audio file with acidized information and that Reaper's tempo is set differently from RB's tempo.

To test this theory.... under "Project Settings" in Reaper, set the project's tempo (BPM) and Time Signature to be exactly the same as tempo in Realband. To do this, follow the 1, 2, 3, 4 on the below image.

Does this help?

Regards,
Noel

P.S. If you click on the 'Audios on Soundcloud' link in my signature you can hear some of my songs. All these have audio tracks sent from both Realband and BIAB to Reaper.

Hi Noel
Thanks for that I checked it and that was ok but I Kept going and found out that it was under Options/Preferences/Audio Device Settings/Audio System and I changed the setting on that and the sound was the same as Realband etc
I am watching those Groove 3 videos about Reaper and am looking forward to doing a project I have.Im impressed Reaper I have to say ,
Thanks Again Guys

Hugh,

I'm glad to hear it's sorted. Out curiosity, and for future reference, when you say...

...what specific setting did you change it to? ASIO?

Hi Noel
I went back over my steps just to see what I did differently,
So I have it now installed directly on my laptop and on my external harddrive.Originally I put it on the laptop and it wasnt working correctly and then I installed on my Exteral hardrive .The difference seems to be that when I installed on my External HD it gave me the option regarding the Audio Device Settings which the Laptop installation did not.
I have since re installed on my Laptop and it still didnt give me the option to set my Audio Device and still isnt working correctly.
However thats not conclusive because when I look at both settings on both intallations they are the same!
Im going to now install on my Laptop unchecking some of the component funcions

Hi Noel
Just unchecked function components on installation and made no difference.Somehow the sound is going through a different route when installed on the Laptop and it has to be the Audio Devices Setup in some way.
If it were easy their would be no reward!

Hi Hugh

Besides the settings issues, did you take each track to reaper individually?
When i started with BIAB, I took the long way round and mixed everything down to .wav and imported the entire file to reaper with very disappointing results.

Since then I copy the tracks individually and import the tracks to reaper which allows for individual track FX settings and EQ

Since the I am a happy camper

Hi Wobbly

I had a just dragged them across individually from the drop zone in Realband and then I noticed that you can drag them across straight.I took any effects I had on the tracks in Realband off them before dragging.I think you right you need to able to use the Reaper effects.
I beginning to like Reaper now that im meddling around with it,
Yours Hugh

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
