I go from BIAB to Reaper all the time. There are a few (fortunately simple) things you have to do to make everything work.
First, before you import anything into Reaper, make sure Reaper is set to the same BPM as the song in BIAB. Also make sure the time signatures match.
Second, once you have everything imported, select all the BIAB track items, then right-click on one of them to get Reaper's context menu. Under Properties (not Item Properties or Source Properties), go to Playrate, and then click Reset Playrate. This will shrink/stretch all of the .WAVs to where they should be.

It's worthwhile setting the start bar as -1 in project settings. This accommodates BIAB's 2-bar count-in. Doing this will then make each bar number in Reaper exactly the same as BIAB.
I've never needed to check on that. I just drag the .WAVs in from Reaper's Media Explorer and make sure it goes all the way to the beginning. The count-in is there automatically.

The ReWireVST works great with RealBand & Reaper but not working quite right in Biab (though it should have a dedicated ReWire soon). It allows you to re/generate up any section of track with MultiRiffs. You can also load the Biab video into Reaper. ReWire RealBand

Hi Tom,
Yep... the count-in is there automatically.
By setting the start bar to -1, it means that when the intro starts, Reaper will read bar 1 at exactly the same musical location that BIAB reads bar 1 (provided the tempo is identical in both Reaper and BIAB). I find that by having bar numbers synchronised in Reaper and BIAB, it makes it easier to isolate sections when I want to copy and paste (in Reaper).
For example, if I find a problem in bar 28 in Reaper and I want to copy a bar to paste over it, I look at bar 28 in BIAB and find out what chord it is. I then look at all the bars in BIAB that have the same chord and same part-marker. Then I audition those bars in Reaper and see if I can find suitable copy-and-paste material.
