_RKMDBM1_demo_C-D-E-F_Drive_wma.zip
_JAZZWES_Demo_C-D-E-F_Drive_wma.zip

EDIT: these are the unfolded chords
_JAZZWES_Demo_chords_unfold.zip
_RKMDBM1_demo_chords_unfold.zip
In Reaper View > Region/Marker manager > right click import region csv

These are the identical sections generated up in Biab.

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

Did you try and load the project files ? did it find the wma files ok ?
did they play back ok ? did you need to change to another drive letter ?

Here's one with extra util track and a multistyle demo:

_RUGGED-Demo-C-D-E-F-Drive-wma.zip
_WOOL+_Demo-C-D-E-F-Drive-wma.zip

Again, 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

As I write there are 128 views of the thread and I guess most of those are by Reaper users. You probably don't want that many 'me too' responses. We're here.

Thanks, just want to make sure it all plays fine on other hardware as I didn't get much feedback from the Track Injector (maybe for Reaper script users only) so I thought I'd make it easy for users with Reaper to try.
Hopefully the BBPlugin and RealBand will work this way soon so all the work I put in to it all won't be in vain.
Once the BBPlugin is self contained it should work on Linux.

Maybe and I suspect many just use Reaper as it comes, just transferring the tracks. I'm pretty sure many Reaper users will be interested, but maybe sometimes it'll be "too hard right now".

I've just upgraded my office PC with the current AVL:MXE, which is working well and Windows 11 which was being a PITA and is relegated to an old spinning rust drive for refusing to install on the sane M.2 as AVL:MXE.

Despite the fact that I rarely use Windows, I do use it, so I figured I'd just buy rather than upgrade or stick with 10. I'm still trying to work out how to pay without signing up to their pay service and I'm still trying to get it to work without using a Microsoft account. I need occasionally to be able to use it offline! I know it can be done.

I'm away quite a bit now, getting the boat ready for launch, so it'll have to keep for a while.

I assumed that this is some way of importing a BiaB style into Reaper.

It looks like only two styles are here. I assume that I'd have to manually change the filename to make it work with another style.

Because there was no explanation of what the script did, or what the benefit of using it instead of to doing it in BiaB, I couldn't understand why it had been posted.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

These files would rather be there to demonstrate the speed with which a song is generated based on the text file created by the plugin (a few mini seconds) instead of waiting again and again for the creation of wavs, which discourages many people from use the plugin.

It's almost faster to drag'n'drop from the original Biab.

But by doing this we obviously lose all the advantage of Biab, since the tracks become "frozen" in the daw.

Where have you been for the last few years I have been posting all these Lua scripts ? YOU GOT ME INTO LUA ! it's your fault smile I remember having to install development tools and compiling your Lua on Mac for the Biab virtual singer file. I thought you would be into all the Lua scripting in Reaper frown cry

Exactly !!!!

I think we are here: "Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production" if I'm not mistaken ?
Now, who else has actually tried these to give feedback and help in development ?

When this is all implemented in BBPlugin and RaalBand, only then will users realize the quantum leap this is, "WOW PG this is great, we didn't think you could do this, awesome", at the moment it might be a bit out there for most users, hence the low response. At least give it a try, what do you have to loose ? I have done so many things for other users to help them out and give them new software they never had "Lest We Forget", in the main forum or by PM and all I ask is they try this and give feedback frown
When I asked for users to try the Sforzando files I uploaded it was like I was asking them to jump off a cliff.

Once we have the BBoutput.txt in bb\Data any section you don't like in Reaper you can regen and import to the same track position instantly, letting you extend or shorten riffs giving so much more control and tweaking as you are using the source files direct in Reaper and not rendered wav files that can't adjust in length and tweak giving custom notation:

Coolio! I have BiaB installed on D: and my Reaper projects on E:. The .rpp files opened and played great!

I have a license for Reaper through v7.99, but use the latest Studio One Pro. Still, this is nice to know. Thanks!

Thanks for trying. I can dive give you a Studio One project file but you would need to have the Biab wav file version for Studio One to load as it don't load and play wma like Reaper.

A script can be made to import the BBoutput.txt into Studio One but you would need wav files:
