Works awesome!!!

Hey, as an aside, I've spent over 5 hours trying to record a 1/2 video on separating drum layers from Realdrums and rendering them into individual stems using Regroover Essential by feeding sending a MIDI signal (track 1) into an empty track hosting the Regroover plugin VST (track 2) and then recording the audio output into track 3 as a receive.

I also think it would be awesome to inspire folks here by making a quick video demonstrating how I can get pumping trance chords, arppegiated lead sounds, and bowel shaking dubstep bass wobbles, and EDM drum loops (all generated on a single MIDI track rendered via the BiaB Plugin Chords > MIDI chord track scripts!) to play along with, say, a jazzy sax solo and mellow piano background layered with some fusion type drums supplied by BiaB.

AFAIK, this (the MIDI part) is impossible with BiaB when you entered a chord with more than 3, MAYBE 4 tones. The closest I could get is with the Held piano MIDI, but even with that, it was a nightmare extending out empty spaces, and adding notes etc... When you want your MIDI to 'jam' subdivided chord patterns, run bass sequences, and Rompler drum loops (a la Xpand2, and Kontakt's Urban Beats), the held piano styles were virtually useless, as a single gap in the MIDI line would through the whole production off course....

Now back to the point; basically all my sends and receives get messed up and refuse to record output when I use my microphone headset to record the video. Furthermore, I get ambient noise bleeding through into the armed/record output track. I know this probably has a relatively simple fix "under the hood," but I don't feel confident enough to start messing around with the whole input/output routing matrix stuff because every-time I try, I end up making the whole situation even worse.

Is it possible to simply prevent Reaper from recognizing my mic in the first place? I'm thinking something I could set up under the Device Manager itself, so that my recording software will pick up the mic and all sounds coming from my PC, but Repear will only "hear" what's happening in Reaper is if I didn't have a mic plugged in at all.

Thanks in advance!
