Could someone point me to an explanation of the technical process that allows realtracks to get used to make a backing track? From a high level I imagine a recording being made of a trumpet player, which is incorporated into a realtrack (whatever that means), then I type a page full of chords and select a style that has that trumpet player on it, and poof, I get a backing track that I can play along with. Is there an explanation somewhere of how this is done? It seems quite baffling how the transition is made from taking whatever the trumpet player originally played, and modifying it to fit my chord progression.
tnx
In your example:
The Trumpet Player records various parts using differing (defined) chords. These make the realtracks (RTs)

BiaB slices/dices these to match your chords (using audio transposition) from the markers available.
RTs are audio that get adjusted to fit your chords .. with some artificial intelligence to help.

That's as simple as I can try to explain it.

Thanks rharv. Is it the AI that allows the transition from one measure/chord to the next? I can imagine using chord tone guidelines that make a nice transition across measures if I did it by hand, but a computer doing such a good job is pretty amazing.
If I'm correct, there is a video on how you can make UserTracks yourself. I believe the explanation would help in how RealTracks are made.

PS: I should clarify that it's a trade secret with PG, however the concept should help.
