ROB HELMS - thanks so much for the note back. Actually it is the other way around. Reaper is set to 48 and BIAB is set to 41. I tried setting the BIAB to 48, but no luck. I will go get that PreSonus interface to see if that makes a difference.
JUSTANOLDMUSO - Thank you for the link to the other post - I will definitely spend some time on that one.
As for your excellent questions - in marketing parlay we call them "strategic objectives" :-) :
let us all know what your song goals are ?? I've been performing live like most of you for at least 40 years. It's how I paid for college way back when. I've been using BIAB since 2010 and early on it was and still is to just augment recordings of my own material. It's starting to expand more as I begin to create music projects for others.
are you going to be recording lots of vocal traks ? No, when I start expanding and recording my friends, it will usually be between 2-3 vocal tracks. At most it will be 2 to 6 tracks total, but that would be rare.
do you want to record with others ? which might mean more inputs needed. - I have a Behringer board with USB interface and was going to use that when I needed to record more than two tracks at a time.
PIPELINE - Great questions, hopefully I can give the correct answers to match.
So in Reaper you select the BBPlugin,
does the GUI come up ?
No - not even seeing the BIAB GUI. I can select it as an option, but it never loads.

have you tried the C:\bb\BBPlugin\Files\Band-in-a-Box DAW Plugin Standalone.exe ?
No - I haven't - great idea. I will try that option.
In TaskManager under Details Tab can you see bbw4_64.exe ?
Yeah - it's there.
what drive have you got the bb\ folder installed on ?
If it's on another drive you made need to edit
I have my BIAB running off my D Drive and everything else running off my C Drive. THIS MIGHT BE THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT - since I'm running my BIAB off my D Drive, and everything else off my C drive. Hopefully I'm not royally screwed.
Here is the current contents of that file: C:\Users\Public\Ticket\Band-in-a-Box DAW Plugin Folder Locations.txt
BBLocation=D:\BandInABox\
RealTracksLocation=D:\BandInABox\RealTracks\
DrumsLocation=D:\BandInABox\Drums\
SavedTracksLocation=D:\BandInABox\BBPlugin\SavedTracks\
EVERYONE - I can't begin to tell you how appreciative I am with the help you're providing. Hopefully I will ge4t to a point where I can also chip in and help others. But you guys are light years ahead of me with technical acumen. So thank you for being so kind, helpful, and generous with your knowledge.
