_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

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:

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!
