Then I opened Reaper, inserted the BIAB-VST and within the VST opened the midi arrangement file from BIAB. Then I could drag and drop the block chord midi and the chord labels into Reaper. Finally I put in the Toontrack Session Organ VSTi to play the midi chords. So no RTs were used! No BIAB Style was used! The organ is not trying to provide a diverse rhymic performance, it is just comping the chords. This leaves lots of room for the soloist to play the melody and/or improvise.

This is a very typical workflow for me.

Ahhh... now I understand. Thanks for explaining it to me.
There are so many different ways to skin a cat with these things. smile
I also use Reaper as my DAW. As soon as I have a decent-sounding backing track I import the .wav
files into Reaper and work from there.
