All,
Went the route of setting BIAB to 54 and Cubase to 81, but looked like 79.5 vs 53 was also basically working.

I didn't try loading in the VST version, but was exporting to WAV files--mainly because I was mix matching instruments from different styles.

Thanks again

Rudy

Spot on Noel,
I did, essentially, this in Reaper today: I'm working on an old song that a) has a decimal tempo & b) has a ritardando section.
I lined up the beginning created splits where the tempo really became OUT and used Alt with the mouse to stretch/shrink the sections L&R of the split .wav file. It only required a couple of splits for the general tempo though rather more detailed work and aligning to get the slow down sorted. It was worth the effort as I now have a very fine gospel style backing vocal that has a "great Gig In The Sky" feel thanks to BIAB.
Working with BIAB out side of the program, until they down tools on the money making updates and focus on the core issues, is always going to be a work around.


Cheers

This is a 12/8 score imported into DAW @ the same time signature and tempo.

Hi Rudy,

I'm glad you got it sorted! Excellent smile When you get a chance, would you mind marking the thread "resolved" (there's a button on your original post that will allow you to do that)? This way, if anyone stumbles across this thread in the future, they will know that it contains a solution that works.

Regards,
Noel
