Anyway, I clicked the file, and Bandlab opened and asked if I would like to use the program data, or whatever it is called... I clicked yes, and the whole arrangement opened without a glitch with Bandlabs own GM synth. I hit play and there it was, every track assigned to its proper instrument. No trouble whatsoever.
You can open that GM synth in Reaper too, but I suppose you have to do a bit of work, assigning the instruments to its own midi channel and such. And I have no idea how to handle program changes.
Bandlab is pretty nice. And free.

Isn't there a way for Reaper to to the same then?
I rather use Reaper as the only DAW. Please help!
