Remember also, that these notes are (generally) created manually as a transcription of the real track and not necessarily the absolute exact notation of the played instrument.

As mentioned; they are generally manually transcribed Not all RealTracks have these charts available. Someone had to actually replay it and write it out. I imagine there could be quite some time involved in that, unless it was recorded in MIDI also during the original takes.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Yes, I'm certainly not envious of the task to manually transcribe.

When you use this function, remember....with BB/RB, it is not a note for note transcription of the real track. In many cases, it's not even close.
As I understand the terms: Transcription is a note for note writing of the part exactly. What someone played, gets written down so that it's possible for another player to read the part and play it exactly. It should be complete, with all the notes and with the proper note values as well. This is what Steve Vai did with Frank Zappa's music.
What BB/RB gives you is a MIDI interpretation of that part. Big difference. It can be close or kinda close or sometimes not even close.
I remember the first time I tried that. The real track had an outstandingly played part but the sound quality was in the pits. I was hoping to get BB/RB to transcribe it to MIDI and then use my own piano sampler to play the part with superb fidelity. When I played the piano part with my midi sampler, what a disappointment. The part wasn't even close. Sure it was the same chords and the same changes.... but that's as close as it was.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
The problem is that transcription only gives you the notes (and some additional information). But it won't tell you exactly how hard or soft a note was played (sure, it may have dynamic markings and such, but they are open to interpretation), or exactly how the note was bent, or if it was played a little sharp or flat, or a lot of other things.
It's like listening to a speech and writing down what was said - you won't get all the subtleties of the speech, such as which words were emphasized, exactly how quickly or slowly it was spoken. Sure, you know what was said, but you won't be able to reproduce it exactly by just reading the printed words.
Just like you won't reproduce the music exactly by playing the printed notes.

The whole point of a Real Track is it's a recording of a real person playing that part. It has nuances, little timing variations, touch differences. None of this shows up in written music. Of course a midi playback is not going to sound close to the original RT. Ever listened to a midi version of a classical piano piece? The exact notes have been known for centuries. It sounds nothing like it sounds with a virtuoso pianist doing it. That's the limitation of midi.
What might get there is to have another good musician read that chart and record that live. But, what have you done then? You've created another Real Track!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
