1. In Reaper menu Extensions > Reapack > Browse packages.. in Filter paste js_ReaScriptAPI
right click > Install > Apply

2. Install https://www.sws-extension.org/

3. In C:\bb\BBPlugin\ create a new text file and name it PreserveAllFiles.txt or whatever drive you are on.

EDIT: Updated to work with Shots, Hold, Pushes.
4. Right click Save Link/Target As Insert new track import bbplugin bboutput txt data.lua
In Reaper menu Options > Show REAPER resource path
open Scripts folder and paste Insert new track import bbplugin bboutput txt data.lua
In Reaper menu Actions > Show Action List > New Script > Load Reascript > browse to Insert new track import bbplugin bboutput txt data.lua and open.
type bboutput in the filter, select the script, click Run.

Select the latest folder you have generated MultiRiffs to or previous if your are using more than one BBPlugin.
Select the Track number.
You can delete all the wavs in these SavedTracks folders as Reaper is not using them.
You can just drag the midi in from the BBPlugin.

This will only work on the Multiriff tracks at the moment (if PG write the wav instruction the the other tracks txt files then it could be updated to do all).
If you want fully editable RealDrums/Stems in Reaper you can use Biab Drums/Stems Reaper
This will give you all fully editable RealTracks and Drums.

When saving in Reaper's Save dialog Don't Select Move files option.

If you edit the script you can change "1,wma" to "1,wav" to set wav as default then ctrl+s to save and run script.
Code:
retval_inputs, retvals_csv = reaper.GetUserInputs( "Select Track Number & File Type", 2, "Track 1-7,wma wav m4a aiff", "1,wma" )
  


EDIT: This script will do MultiRiff sections on the same track.
Right click Save Link/Target As Import bbplugin bboutput txt data to selected track.lua

This shows how you can easily edit the section rather than the consolidated wav.
The worst part is the waiting for bbw4 to create the 7 wav files, if it just created the BBoutput.txt you would have the tracks in an instant.
You can see what folder contains what instruments if you are using a few BBvst's.

This script will insert the MultiRiffs generated on selected bars to the selected Reaper track. Shows adjusting the Hold in video.
Right click Save Link/Target As Import bbplugin bboutput txt data to selected track.lua and load into Reaper as above.

This original script has been updated to work with Holds etc.. you will need to just replace this.
Right click Save Link/Target As Insert new track import bbplugin bboutput txt data.lua

You can't do much with the consolidated wav drum file but this will give fully editable RealDrums section in Reaper.
If PG add the wav instructions of the Drums and other instruments to the BBoutput.txt you won't need this.
EDIT: This one uses Reaper audio device to play the demos so Media Player is not needed.
Download: ReaTrak-biab-drums-gui-audio-demos.zip

Uses Media Player
Download: ReaTrak biab drums gui.zip
In Reaper menu Options > Show REAPER resource path
copy all contents of zip to the Scripts folder or Scripts\ReaTrak
In Reaper menu Actions > Show Action List > New Script > Load Reascript > browse to Scripts folder or Scripts\ReaTrak and open ReaTrak biab drums gui.lua

To get demo previews in the GUI Install 64bit MediaPlayerClassic https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/
the script will look in this folder (if you have Reaper 32bit you will need to change the path)
"C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe"
On first run "Browse for Drums folder eg: C:\bb\Drums or D:\bb\Drums etc..
when you start the script it might take a while to read the drums folder.
Turn Auto Crossfade off.
Select the section or whole track then Create Drum Track.
Any section can be re-generated by selecting that section.
You can manually change shots holds to the ones you want as any section will extend out to the full file. Add fills where you like. Create longer endings.
At the very end of the drum file you will find some single hits.
It will split the track into stems if the RealDrum has them.
If any sections are missing just select the section and regenerate as the RealDrums may only have 1 matching section available.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
