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?
