The mix of realtracks and midifiles was playing in sync in biab, but when I drag and drop this files in realband they was out of sync. I notice that by default the realband has a 120 tempo setting, and the files I was working with i biab was 114.
It seems like realband handles the realtrack and midifile different when the tempo setting in realband and biab are different, so the result is out of sync when playing. I now adjust the tempo setting in realband to the same as in biab BEFORE drag&drop a mix of realtracks/midifiles, and everything is ok

Thank you for comments

Interesting.

Apparently drag and drop works the same way as exporting to WAV and MIDI...

Be aware that once a WAV file is created, the tempo and pitch become frozen. (but the midi will still adapt to any tempo changes... so that's why your project got out of synch: the WAV was still playing in the original saved tempo but the MIDI adapted to the different tempo setting in RB. When you changed the RB tempo to match the BIAB tempo, your midi got back in time with the static WAV file)

Upshot is, if you drag and drop (or export to wav, then import in another DAW) the pitch and tempo will need to be the same as in your original project.

One of the advantages of using RealBand instead of other DAW programs is that you don't have to export the project from BIAB and re-import it. RB knows how to open files saved in the BIAB file format. You can open ANY BIAB file and when it opens in RB you can continue modifying it.. yes, even by changing the tempo or key and reprocessing it!

The cool thing about Real Tracks is that (in their native environment) they adapt to changes in pitch and tempo. But, you lose that if you bring in WAVs that are already bound to a static tempo or pitch. An exported WAV of a real track is not as flexible as the real track itself, if that makes any sense.
