I wavered whether to mention recording at the higher resolutions mentioned by Herb and Noel and opted to recommend the 16 bit 44.1K option for the way Tobias indicates in his post that he will use the Biab generated tracks.

As temporary foundation instruments that will be replaced by live recordings, I think he will (and needs to) focus more on clean recordings rather than additional headroom for post processing. He did not mention he plans to do any post processing in Biab or RB but just the opposite. He indicates all post processing will be done in another DAW.

For his indicated use of these Biab recordings, he should export his individual wav files with no panning or effects. Each track in his mix should be set to flat, dry and center prior to his final export of the individual tracks. There is a quick shortcut in Biab to do this to all tracks at once in the MASTER Right Click drop down menu. This would be the last step needed prior to the final export of his mixes.

RealTracks are already optimally recorded at a set resolution and bitrate. His Biab mix just needs to be mixed for best balance and level to be used as the OP indicates he plans to use these mixes.

For post processing, his critical step is to export audio that exceeds the base level white noise and is loud and clear without clipping.

That is my thought process and I certainly may be missing some elements that you guys can expound on and maybe explain benefits I'm missing.
