Using this method will expand the capabilities of the Biab Plugin no end. (see note below) It is using one Biab Plugin per track. Each instance of the plugin will open the same song.SGU It will allow you create and mix before dragging any tracks into the DAW. All selected tracks in all plugins are being play back (from the local folders) together in sync to each other and to any existing track in the DAW.
On the Drum track we select RealDrums for each "Special Track" just add the drums you think would fit best, you can have 7 of them. On the Bass and other tracks do the same. On the soloist we choose MultiRiff and the RealTrack the bars where we want the soloist we highlight to select the region, select Generate MultiRiff Selected Region. We can use Direct Input RealTracks and load a guitar FX VST like Amplitube or Guitar Rig after the Biab Plugin. Any sections can be regenerated with MultiRiffs and slipped in to that section of track in the DAW. We have a midi track with the Biab instrument Plugin that has a selection of midi piano tracks, after the Biab instrument Plugin we have EZKeys VSTi.
You can also add any other FX after the other Biab Plugins. Remember you have Band-in-a-Box DAW VST FX Plugin.dll for audio tracks and Band-in-a-Box DAW VST Plugin.dll instrument for midi tracks.
So in the Biab Plugin preferences we have "Sync Playback checked" We now bring up the Biab Plugin on each DAW track and after generating "All Special Tracks" we select the first track we would like to play back in sync to preview. You can loop a section in the DAW while changing tracks in each plugin, by selecting another track in the Biab Plugin and hitting the Biab Plugin Play button (this will be made easier soon, see below).
**Points to note these things are on the to do list to be fixed as from current 1.14.2.0 Generating RealDrums in the 7 "Special Tracks" will all generate the same drums as the style's drum no matter what drum you choose. DI Guitars are not selecting. Select multiple tracks in the Plugin to play/stop with indication on each track, like green play arrow or red stop square that toggles to indicate state. "Sync Playback" moved from Preferences to a button. At the moment the Plugin GUI needs to be opened to play, so you will need to leave the Plugin windows open.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
