So, why not keep them that way to save hard drive space and "maybe" some processing power when I have multiple tracks in Reaper.
My main concerns are;
1. Will my plugins behave and sound correct?
2. Will it actually save hard dive space and/or processing power?
3. My live instrument and voice recordings are going in as .WAV. So, when I mix down and render to a stereo track would I keep the whole thing as a WMA?
4. Should I just stick with exporting from BIAB in the .wav format?


Yes, you can use Biab Track Injector for REAPER if you want to work directly with the wma use version from 6.57.
You can also batch encode the wma/wav source files into any format that Reaper supports.
