A simple way of transferring a track is select it then run bb_track_info.ahk then run one of the Reaper scripts from the post above Insert new track import bb temp txt data.lua or Import bb temp txt data section to selected track.lua Zoom++

Any Instrument that also has a DI source can be changed instantly from FX > DI and DI > FX keeping the same notation. Zoom ++

If I want to change an instrument on the same track like another soloist or a different guitar pattern I can mark it with take markers so I can see instantly where a change occurs: Zoom++

I have tested "Biab-track-injector-GUI-1003" according to summary video of Biab Track Injector and I have noticed following issues:
1) "Import All Selected Tracks" sometimes jam up the process. If "H" is killed the process continues and result is evidently correct. Very harmful is that Biab dialog has disappeared after process is finalished. I don't know how to refress the dialog to see it again. Also If many styles and utility tracks have been used in Biab the final result is unsure.
2) "Generate Current Track Section Custom": If first generate tracks by "Import All Selected Tracks" and after this try to "Generate Current Track Section Custom" the result is whery unstabile or process will jam up depending what have been done before. Sorry but I can't explain more clear way what can happen.
3) "Generate Current Track Section" will behaviour wrong way if many different styles have been used on Biab (which is more than normal in my case). Wrong instrument will be selected to section which have been selected to be modified.
4) What might commands ”Set BB to Blank Style”, BB - , BBmix - ,BBmix, to do? Only first one select style "BLANK.STY "
5) When I press Random Tab of different instruments and many styles are used in Biab the result is unsure? I am not sure if I use this part of program right way.
I hope that you can utilize this test info to develope the program further.

Very harmful is that Biab dialog has disappeared after process is finalished. I don't know how to refress the dialog to see it again. Also If many styles and utility tracks have been used in Biab the final result is unsure.
It was minimizing Biab, I took that out of the script. You can edit the .ahk scripts in notepad most of the time they just need a longer delay
Sleep, 100 > Sleep, 300
You can do everything you need with just a few buttons, so you can manually select a track in Biab Mixer then click an Import button
see button pic below.
2) "Generate Current Track Section Custom": If first generate tracks by "Import All Selected Tracks" and after this try to "Generate Current Track Section Custom" the result is whery unstabile or process will jam up depending what have been done before. Sorry but I can't explain more clear way what can happen.
You can do this manually and use Alt+F8 in Biab, this was added this year to make things a lot easier.
3) "Generate Current Track Section" will behaviour wrong way if many different styles have been used on Biab (which is more than normal in my case). Wrong instrument will be selected to section which have been selected to be modified.
The script will read the RT number of the instrument in the Reaper track name then select that from the list, you can do this manually also with Alt+F8 in Biab.
4) What might commands ”Set BB to Blank Style”, BB - , BBmix - ,BBmix, to do? Only first one select style "BLANK.STY "
BB- BBMix- will minimize/maximize Biab or Mixer, you can use BLANK.STY to create new style using random chosen instruments.
5) When I press Random Tab of different instruments and many styles are used in Biab the result is unsure? I am not sure if I use this part of program right way.
The Random will randomly choose an RT or RD by Feel, Time Signature and tempo from C:\bb\Data\RealTracksList.txt
You really only need to use these Buttons and Alt+F8 in Biab to do all things, this was one of the best features added as you can leave the window open and still do everything giving you more control, the other things were just experimental. I have updated the scripts again but I think you are best to stick to these buttons. You can use Set Riff Range to Time Selection if you are using F8 dialog to set Biab to Reaper time selection:

Thanks for fast reply and updates. I noticed also that I can use F8, Ctrl+F8 and Alt+F8 concurrently with "Biab-track-injector-GUI-1003" script. That's absolutely fine. Based your great help and software I can now speed up my song writing process remarkable. It is much more convenient to carry out.
I have discussed with PG support why partial regeneration destroys all info from track but not that part which have been selected to regenerate if many styles have been used in song. They have asked me explain that many times more and more but I feel that PG still not understood what's is going on. Good medication for that is use "Import riff to track section" and change the process more on Reaper side.
Thank you very much of your help and have a great music!

"Based your great help and software I can now speed up my song writing process remarkable. It is much more convenient to carry out."Thanks, I never had this 14 years ago when I was creating up tracks for artist, all I had was stress  but the RealTracks were great and just needed a users friendly frustration free way of getting what you want quickly. You can put different riffs on different tracks, each riff audio item can be made longer to give more notes or different sections of different riffs piece together on another track easily without a consolidated wav. In the long run hopefully the BBPlugin/BBPlugin Standalone will be able to do all of this, be released at the same time for Win and Mac with crossplatform audio in crossplatform installers. We still need the BBputput.txt for Reaper Win/Mac and to transfer the exact same tracks and sections from Biab main to BBlugin or RealBand. 24bit 48k source audio and RealTimeSignatures !! PG will then be in the modern age leading the way with an industry standard goto for any studio big or small. Rather than just: "Band In A Box, "old program for old people""

hi, my BIAB 2023 is Version 2023 (1011). Does it mean I cannot use this injector?
The reason is I was able to install and open the injector, but it has always crashed and Reaper automatically shut down.
Thanks for your help.

You need 1003, you can run it alongside 1011 just rename it bbw64-1003.exe Biab-1003-Basic-Scripts.zip Try it with these 2 basic scripts first, one is an Autohotkey script and the other a Reaper. Select a track in the Biab 1003 Mixer then run bb_track_info.ahk (make sure Autohotkey.exe is set to run as administrator if Biab is set to that) Run Insert new track import bb temp txt data.lua ( this is set to look in filetxt = [[C:\bb\Data\temp.txt]] you can change in script if your bb folder is not on C:) I'm working on an easy way to do it all at the moment but you can try this for now.

You can try this with Reaper if you just work in the main Biab program only and tired of dragging files over all the time. This is just 1 Reaper script that works on any version of Biab frozen SGU/MGU, no modifications needed. Import-frozen-SGU-MGU-realtracks-drums.zip Just simply open a frozen SGU/MGU to instantly import the tracks into Reaper. If you don't have the peak files already it will have to build them but once you have the reapeaks files it will be instant. You can use Script: Create reapeaks in folder.lua ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=26371&filename=BB24-Transfer-To-Reaper.gif) This will import new sections: Import single frozen track or section SGU MGU to selected track.lua (included with script above). ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=26402&filename=BB24-Section-Transfer-Reaper2.gif)
