Yes - see attached images. I have build 813, so hopefully fixed in 814. In 2020, when I'd drag and tell it to create separate tracks, the track buttons would sequentially enable themselves individually (all others muted) when rendering each track. Now the Master is the only one unmuted and that's as far as it goes. And the resulting wave is silent. Also there doesn't seem to be a connection between the Solo button in the Master track in the track list and the "Master" track at very bottom of Mixer (with two sliders). And I think those are market incorrectly - says "L" and "R" but the sliders are for song/all song volume. Definitely some work needs to be done with the Mixer.

God, sometimes I hate all the jargon BIAB uses.

This is NOT involving the BIAB VST Plugin. BIAB historically used the term Plugin in a whole different context. This is using the OLD plugin setup options for dragging and dropping our of BIAB the main program.

AAAhhhaaaa .....

That is a bit confusing and thanks for the explanation.

Having made that selection in your screenshot, dragging from the 'Master' button does indeed 'drag'n'drop' all the individual instrument tracks into the 'drag'n'drop folder.

It's just that the button doesn't show as being selected (lit up). Apart from this, it does appear that some other aspects remain not as they should be as cwiggins999 lists. I think the 'Master' button does need some TLC still.

It seems there are so many different ways to do things in BiaB that everyone thinks they are on the same page when they are not :-) The results out of BiaB are just amazing - I'm still in my first year of using it and it has revolutionized how I'm making music these days. So at least from my standpoint I'm willing to put up with the absolutely convoluted and baggage-laden UI, but I can understand how many would give up. And I'm speaking as a software engineer with 30+ years experience developing games, web, and mobile apps.

I just tried drag-and-drop as you describe with Cakewalk and that does work for getting wave files over. But as I mentioned, I find that starting my Cakewalk project by loading one MIDI file (usually MIDI of a RealTrack since I rarely use MIDI only tracks) gets the overall arrangement, tempo map and part markers into my Cakewalk project. Then I drag all the wave files in at once and have everything lined up and synced. As a software engineer with app build experience, I guess I always gravitate toward repeatable processes when moving from one application to another, and this process is how I've been working for 9 months.

So with your process, are you able to get MIDI of the RealTracks into Reaper?

Yes, I have always been able to move midi and wav via drag and drop out of BIAB (the program) into Reaper. But I have not tried lately with the new BAIB 2021 (except what we have been doing here). And in fact I use the BIAB -VST for all of that now. It is far quicker in my workflow.
