1) Before loading the wav, I opened a 3/4 style to set BIAB to 3/4 mode.

2) Then I selected "File | Import | Import audio (WAV, MP3, etc.)".

3) I navigated to the file I wanted to load and selected it.

4) When the 'import' window appeared, I clicked on "Reset to zero" and I selected the destination track as "Audio".

5) I also set the tempo of BIAB to match the audio file.

6) Once the song was loaded, I muted** all the tracks on the mixer except the one containing the audio file. (Alternatively, I could have just soloed the Audio track.)
**Muting the tracks stops them playing along with the Audio file. Unless the set-up style you initially loaded is a great match for the style of the audio, it's likely that the resulting sound from Audio and BIAB's track generation playing together could be awful.

One other thing, it is possible that the Audio file has been saved with ACID information in Cubase. If this is the case, you will probably need to set the base tempo. When the 'import' window opens (step #4 above), if you see the option to set the base tempo, add this information to the import.

If you need to set this after the import, right click on Audio (or wherever the audio is loaded), select "Track Settings" and then select "Set Base Tempo." There is also an option in the window to set BIAB to "Conform to playback tempo" (see the attached graphic). These settings may help.

This should get you up and running. I regularly generate audio in Synth V and import it into BIAB so that I can create a song.

I actually did _exactly_ what you described above, the only slight difference is that I set the base tempo under “Track Settings”.

The only workaround I found was to set both the BIAB tempo and the base tempo of the imported track to 75, which happens to be 3/4 of 100, the beat per bar difference between 3/4 and 4/4.
And since I tapped the tempo in Cubase 100 @ 3/4, it is correct, but unlike Cubase, BIAB seems to interpret the time signature.
Not a big deal if you know how to calculate what BIAB needs, but a serious PITA if the result is not an integer because BIAB ONLY allows integers for BPM.
