NOTE DONT DUMP ALL OVER ME...if following dont work !!
its experimental ideas !

its sometimes/often a prob locking two different music apps or devices...been there done.

have you experimented with rb ? which has tempo maps and fractional tempo features ?

i typically keep it simple....ie useing a common song dir for reaps and rb.
and say genning the tracks in rb and dragging into reaps making sure the genned tracks go into the same song dir as reaps recorded tracks.

heres some ideas to think about and maybe test out...

1. lay out SAME tempo map in reaps and rb.
and gen tracks in rb and drag across to reaps.
does this work ? also test out rb in plugin mode.
(ENSURE YOU SET UP REAPS AND RB TO USE SAME SONG DIR.)

2..rb has various time code options...ive never used but...
thus rb should follow code as a master or slave to another time code capable app/device.


3..maybe reaps REWIRE might help ?
i dont use it. as i use the point 1 method.

or this ??

https://reaper.blog/2022/01/rearoute-reastream-tutorial/

see you tube for more info re use.
as i'm very busy doing songs.


believe me when i say ive had my share of frustrations over many years syncing...try it with tape machines...lol.

i know its frustrating but please dont dump all over me if none of the above work.
YMMV//COVER MY REAR...and all the usual caveats...lol.

sometimes the individual gotta do a load of testing so as to find something that might work.

maybe the reaps forum might help viz how to interface two daws like rb and reaps to enable all to sync up....eg you have 10 tracks in reaps you want to play in sync with 12 rb genned tracks.

maybe you might ask on the reaps forum for people that have successfully synced reaps and another daw so all tracks in both daws play back in sync...i'm sure someones done it.
then try it out with rb and reaps.

UPDATE...(i like a challenge...lol.)

not there yet but i DID manage to set up rb to wait for time code.
ie to be a slave. (both reaps and rb have time code features.)
now its a question of how to route reaps timecode on a track to rb.
ive set up the timecode track in reaps of course.
does anybody know how to route the reaps timecode to rb ??
this is what i'm struggling with.
the idea being when play is made in reaps the generated tracks in rb sync up. (note rb has a sync feature for time code.)
i assume both reaps and rb need of course to have the same tempo map. maybe pg can offer any ideas ? cos i'm not sure of next steps.

vice versa ie rb as master and reaps as slave i dont see in reaps a 'wait
for time code feature' ??

happiness.
