Hello,
I am new to BIAB. I would like to have BIAB send output to Reaper. I would like to have Reaper running in record mode and have my vocals, acoustic guitar, and BIAB output recording in realtime. I don't think BIAB has a VST plug that I can initiate in Reape...is there some other way to rout the BIAB audio into Reaper?
Thanks

Absolutely, BIAB and Reaper are a perfect pair. Just drag and drop any or all BIAB track directly into Reaper.

Hi Johnny, Welcome to the forums  I use Reaper all the time. As Dan says, simply take your BIAB tracks to Reaper, mix them there (which is real easy - probably about 5 mins work) and then record the tracks you want in Reaper while the BIAB tracks are playing. There is no reason to try and do everything at once. You'll get much better results by creating all tracks and then mixing them as a second step. My songs at the site below were all created by BIAB, had those tracks transferred to Reaper and my vocals added and mixed in Reaper. https://vimeo.com/user8682059/videosHope this helps. Noel

I would not have both programs actively running like our new poster suggests, but would it work? I think it should work, but I don't use Reaper so I can't test it. However, I often record BIAB in real time into Adobe Audition.
You would load both programs, start Reaper recording, then start BIAB playing. To even attempt this, you will need to have a top-notch computer, probably running 64-bit Windows and more than 4 Gb of RAM. To minimize computer resources, I suggest freezing the BIAB tracks first. Also, set BIAB to use MME (which is really WDM) for its audio output so Reaper can use an ASIO driver while recording. You don't need to use the BIAB plugin mode, but it might make it easier to keep both programs on one screen.
4johnny, if you don't know how to do these things, write back and we will help.
Having said that, I concur with what Dan and Noel said is a better way to work.

Thanks for the replies. I did use the drag and drop method and that does work. Although I was hoping for the realtime method to work.
I do have a powerful PC, I do have BIAB using MME and and Reaper using ASIO with my digi003 hardware. I did have BIAB playing and Reaper recording. I have a new track setup in reaper for BIAB but I'm not sure what the input should be set to, to receive BIAB output. Or if there is a plugin I should have on that blank track to allow me to hear BIAB output in Reaper.
If not, I'll stick with the drag and drop method.
I'm glad to know there is a helpful community that comes with this product, I'm loving it.

I use Sonar.... Reaper is just as good for working on files.
I will open X1 first, let it grab the ASIO driver and then I open BB and RB.... since they will grab and share the MME driver.
I export the tracks from Real Band into a folder where they are saved. I create a new folder for each song and all the BB/RB tracks and files go into it. It keeps everything in one place.
I click on X1 and simply use the IMPORT AUDIO command to bring the files into X1.
BB will act as a plug in on many DAW's but I never use it like that, nor do I drag and drop the files.... I like to import them.
It works either way but I do not think it will allow recording through BB into Reaper live.... but you can always record live into reaper directly after you have the files in it's tracks.... I do that ALL the time in Sonar. Most of my songs (not all) have one or more live tracks in them that was recorded directly into X1.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Sounds good, 4johhny.
Only you know what devices on your system to select as output in BIAB and input in Reaper, but I would assume they need to match.
