Thanks for the great suggestions.

Great suggestions don't work when you can't get a track data temp.txt to read.
Anytime anything is re/generated you should have a BBoutput.txt written in bb\Data showing the wav sections of all current tracks, without having to hack into debug options just to get it

This can be then "instantly" written in Reaper without having to wait for consolidated wav renders in this day n age of non destructive editing.
This gives total non destructive editing control that you don't get after waiting ages for a consolidated wav.
In a professional studio environment you need that speed and control, in a home hobbyist environment the speed and control may not be an issue for those that want to stay in Biab and plod along.

I can do it in the BBPlugin but it is painful waiting so long to get the txt file BBoutput.txt because bbw4 is rendering them all to wav that are not even used and end up getting deleted.
Inject BBPlugin Tracks into REAPER (Simple Script)
The guys over at Reaper were very helpful and spent time to make the WMA work accurately. Adobe Audition is the only other DAW I have seen to handle WMA non destructively. Most Biab users have Reaper and if they have the Audiophile version then they can use wav.
Using that wonderful Alt+F8 floating gen window (just needs Drums & UserTracks also) you can instantly regenerate a track section for Reaper and instantly it's in there, no waiting to render a section down to wav then dragging in, it's instant fitting to any decimal tempo map.

This can all be done now easily without having to wait yet another year in hope of a miracle.
This way will also work for Mac.
With this and the Alt+F8 what can't you then do ? (Real Time Signatures that's about it).

Ideally if you were enthusiastic you could add Send functions that will communicate via Reaper's web Control that will control Reaper and run Actions.
So as in the example pic below you will have a script in Reaper that Biab will run via web control to read bb\Data\BBoutput.txt and BANG it's in instantly.
Send Audio Track to Reaper (Selected Track)
Send selected Audio Track section to Reaper (Selected Track)
Send Audio Track to Reaper (New Track)
Send selected Audio Track section to Reaper (New Track)

Send MIDI Track to Reaper (Selected Track)
Send selected MIDI Track section to Reaper (Selected Track)
Send MIDI Track to Reaper (New Track)
Send selected MIDI Track section to Reaper (New Track)

But none the less it can be all done from Reaper with a bb\Data\BBoutput.txt
a simple thing that will enable miracles.

If not the other option is work out a saved frozen SGU and read the data direct from there.

This is how fast the track goes in from reading the text file, it can do it for a whole track or section of track or 255 bars (this can also be the generate speed of the BBPlugin):

This way would also work with Studio One and Ardour or any others with scripting: Zoom++

You could have the midi data in the same file or have 2 txt files, one for audio data and one for midi data. Having these track data txt files you could either load all tracks or selected tracks into RealBand, BBPlugin or Reaper instantaneously.

You can load these direct into Reaper, just open the Reaper project file with the drive letter you have your RealTracks and RealDrums on. If your BB files are on another drive open the rpp in a text editor and using Replace All replace C:\ with G:\ or if you have the Audiophile wav version, replace .wma with .wav Make sure you have one of the latest versions of Reaper that play the wma files.

That SavedTracks folder is for for the track data that is generated by the Plugin (bbw4_64.exe) that has limited control over what you generate up: Regenerate selected region - rest of the track content is missing Biab gives more section control at the moment so reading the track text in bb\Data will give the exact same tracks as in Biab rather than the limited generated track data text in SavedTracks. Hopefully both the Plugin and RealBand will have direct play like Sforzando, to have RealBand work like Track Injector will be a huge step ahead, and non destructive editing. Once this is implemented track transfer will be so simple as they will all being playing direct from the section info in the text files. At the moment I can read the BBPlugin BBoutput MultiRiff text data and inject one of those 7 tracks into a Reaper track, so having this for the main Biab app would be good. So this is how the BBPlugin should soon work, bbw4_64.exe will generate up the tracks the Plugin asked for but not as rendered wav files, just as the BBoutput.txt track data that has all the audio sections that BBPlugin will play the same way Sforzando plays the text files. So you will have instant gen and play (the midi files will still be generate as this is quick and the files size tiny). RealBand hopefully will do the same with bbw2_64.exe and get it to only generate the text track data, then RealBand will load those sections direct using non destructive editing, so playing/streaming the files direct from disk. A lot quicker and a lot more creative control. They will both use bbw2/4_64.exe until the generate code is added to BBPlugin/RealBand.

This would be the same deal with BBPlugin and RealBand track transfer. Zoom++

Reaper implemented wma to be played from disk and this works really well, and PG are the ONLY company to use WMA for this whole purpose. PG don't seem to want to give this control and creativity to Biab users, they would rather users wait for Biab to take ages rendering to a consolidated wav. I can't work out why Biab has to be behind rather than out front leading the way ? 15 years ago RealBand should of been Reaper Track Injector as I would not be here now half dead from it all. I know they have said they have big plans for RealBand but I just have a felling they will go off half cocked with it. Whereas with Track Injector for Reaper you get instant tracks in a quality DAW. The main issue users have with Track Injector you have to hack into the menu and use AutoHotkey to get what you need. If Biab had track data text file Reaper would read that direct and get the tracks even faster without having to get Biab to write the track data for 1 track it will already have the track data for all current tracks as C:\bb\Data\BBoutput.txt. This could not possibly cause any problems but sell more Biab or Audiophiles packages to Reaper users, and how many Reaper users are there compared to Biab or other DAW's users ??. Long term Biab users will still be able to render down to consolidated wav files and drag into their DAW but those that want total instant creative control will use Reaper direct.

I could have another script that could choose what tracks to import or to update any track instantly with new sections or new track. This way ANYONE could use the track injector with zero hacking and NO AutoHotkey needed. NO waiting to render consolidated wav files. It could also import the midi data directly. Zoom++ Is 1 sec transfer too slow ???

The brand-new side toolbar provides quicker access to key windows, while the new Multi-View feature lets you arrange multiple windows as layered panels without overlap, creating a flexible, clutter-free workspace.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
