I would find it helpful to be able to identify from my DAW a particular Real track I used creating the arrangement in BIAB

One possible way to do this is to add the RT # of all tracks the track output wav file name.

Is there a way to do this or some other approach that would yield same similar result?

Thanks

A good one for the WISHLIST.
RT No first, then instrument, then abbreviated description.
I export my BB wavs into a desktop folder,then into my DAW. (My DAW not recognised - its too old). In the tolder I rename them RT first.

Yes, put this in the Wishlist.

It could also have the instrument name then the RT#, but either way would be helpful.

THanks for confirming what I want does not exist in the present.
So much functionality in this code I often stumble into features that I had no idea existed.

FOr now When creating utility tracks I generally add the RT# (often I'll take 2 or 3 of the same instrument)to the name of the track in the mixer. Helps to keep it straight
That gives me what i want in the DAW for utility tracks.
Guess I could do the same with the main biab tracks.

Still automagic is always better.

FWIW I get the RT# when I drag the file from RB to Reaper (I assume BiaB does this).
Maybe workflow thing?
Does dragging add it for you, as opposed to exporting/importing it?

Not using RB
I use Logic and BIAB Mac (2021)

Some observations

1. A direct drag of a RT from biab mixer to Logic does not do anything although the drag appears to be toting an AIFF file. The dragged file icon simply disappears when dropped in the Logic Tracks area

2. A Single RT render drag/drop from BIAB via the top left corner export (.wav) works fine.
The output track has a long name that includes _single Render SGU_name RT# , Style description.
Much closer to what I would like but this means an interation through each track. Tedious

3. The whole song single file per track export creates a bunch of wav files that do not include the RT#.
These wav files are easily dragged into Logic en masse.'

Perhaps PG could add some configuration parameters (instrument/rt#, etc) to the file name construction in this safe file dialog box.

I might also get what I'm after using the DAW plugin. I tried the plugin early on with less than a maximized user experience. Perhaps its time to try it again.

Most DAWs have a place for notes. Copy the Song Summary from BiaB's Song Memo and paste the text into the notes section of the DAW project file.

Jim,
Good Idea. Some concern about keeping it current as I swap instrumentation around often.
Perhaps I may not need it.


I worked a bit more with the plugin. Watched a PG video or 2.
The drag and drop from the plugin provides the RT# in Logic on the Track.
Good stuff.

I did notice it took over minute to generate 4 Real tracks and a midi track using the plugin.
Thats noticeably worse than using BIAB native by a factor of at least 3 or 4. or 5

I have a 2013 QuadCore I7 MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM.
Is the plugin generation that much slower than Native?

Native BiaB starts playback before it is done generating so it appears faster...
