LOL, Ah those were the days when I didn't get a hard time, maybe because I did'nt know about Reaper then to mention it

RDS (Reaper Derangement Syndrome) has caused many problems but has brought about so many ideas for Biab and BB Plugin, and maybe even
RealBand...
Point me to another DAW that can integrate with Biab, BB Plugin and RealBand and I'll be onto it making up scripts.

ReWireVST for Biab RealBand load it in Biab or RealBand and tell me what DAW can slave to it (look in the ReWire VST available DAW list, don't have any running when using so they will be available).
