Here's a video using Flac directly from frozen SGU without decompressing wma to wav then writing to RAM then rendering down to wav, it's just written directly into Reaper's track as Flac.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/moobjjwo1x29lt9/BB-Injector-Flac-Files.mp4?dl=0

There is a pic show files sizes of Flac Wav and Wavepack, wavepack will encode to more than 10 channels ideal for drums. Compressed format ogg will encode to more than 10 channel also.
So Biab could generate, import or render all it's tracks to/from a multichannel format.

I took the 10 16bit 44.1khz wav files in the Realdrums folder and encoded them to 24bit 48khz multichannel wavepack file that injects directly into Reaper.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vt2bg5l614g8nx7/BB-Wavepack-Multichannel-Drums.mp4?dl=0

See in pic below file size of the 10 16/44.1 drum stems and the file size of the single 10ch 24/48 wavepack file that's 100meg smaller.

MCity.

(note i'm vision impaired re your posted pics so need some clarification.)

ok , assume i'm a noncompoop…lol…

is there a piece of flac or ogg or whatever conversion software i can use that will do the following after exporting from realband or biab the rt etc wav's ..

ie convert them to flac or ogg or whatever so i can import to reaps as flac or ogg…??
cos i'm confused…cos currently anything i drop into reaps via drag drop or export wavmeans i'm stil in the wav domain.
(if there is ! please text back the precise steps please. cos recording in reaps is no probs..i can record in flac etc. )

note…before i create a new song ..i create a new folder in win ,,,and the folder is used to store everything to do with the song whether reaps or bb or rb.

now heres the rub…obviously the folder can get very big for a complex song (cos rt wav's from bb and rb). the result being back ups take longer. which , with all flac or all ogg or whatever i would save save times. see what i mean ?

i DID have an idea how to lessen the impact on the current pg code base of rb and bb.
maybe allow ,... using a public domain flac or ogg convertor ?…a convertor option to flac or ogg on export or drag/drop from rb or biab…make sense ?

i mean ideally i would love to work in biab and rb to work all the time in the flac or ogg domain , but i'm sure this would be lots of recoding work for pg.
maybe only on export ?? , this would save pg lots of work.
ideally i would like to drag traks from rb or biab into reaps as flac. rather than an added conversion to flac/ogg step.

hope i make sense ??

happiness.

Reaper menu File > Batch File/Item Converter

That's why I made the track injector because my hard drive filled up too many times because of all the wav files created by Biab, BiabVST and RealBand SEQ session files mad
I tried converting 12 wav files to a multichannel flac in Reaper but it didn't work but wv wavepack did it's the same Perfect(Lossless) quality.

06 Multichannel Stems.RPP
08 Multichannel Stems.RPP
10 Multichannel Stems.RPP
12 Multichannel Stems.RPP

Here's templates and render settings

To make a custom multichannel just add or remove tracks, set the number of tracks on the Multichannel track ROUTE and if you add a track create a Receive.
Select the Multichannel track to render along with time selection.

You can also convert any wav files in a Reaper project to FLAC OGG... in the Save dialog.

"(note i'm vision impaired re your posted pics so need some clarification.)"
If you right click on the pic "Open Image in New Tab" then use Ctrl+ mousewheel to zoom in/out and cursor keys to move.

I think they said they can do that now as there is a library for Delphi ?
I would not stop with just flac, also have an option to save all tracks to a multichannel file.
