Hey Senn5,

I actually got some amazing results loading two different, but similar, fiddle RealTracks on 2 separate tracks. You can have them play simultaneously for great texture, and also, do all sorts of incredible "call and response" phrases with the multi-riff feature in RealBand (the options you get in massaging the parameters there is mind-blowing!)

As you may or may not be aware, a lot of RTs have a regular and a "bluesy" option. This can be utilized to great effect when using both together.

Good tips !

AND what annoys me in particular is that some (older) fiddle backing tracks mis-behave with beat count changes within a song, like an in-between 2/4 bar in a 4/4 song, WHEN SET TO HALF TIME. See pic below.

Maybe at PG some one can edit the existing ones like below that they can be set to 'normal time' instead of 'halftime' when used in a plm 140-170 BPM so that one does not have to use half time .... F

Twin fiddles is used many times as a pad in Western Swing so I would really like some twin fiddle UserTracks or RealTracks.

What's being referred to is a style that's rarely found anywhere but in western swing and some country ballads - not just two fiddles playing separate harmonies. They play intricate and paired harmonies. Here are a couple of examples:

(sometimes there are three fiddles as in these examples, but it's the same idea for for just two fiddles)
