Overdubbing selected audio to replace less than perfect recordings is very common and called "punch in/out." It can be done in BIAB, RB and any DAW.

Quantizing is for MIDI. Ex; if you recorded a piano part or drum part played on a midi keyboard, and some notes were to far off the beat, you could 'quantize" the track or sections of the track to auto-majically move the midi notes to the nearest 1/4, 1/8th, 16th, 32nd beat.
On an audio track you can Snap To Grid in a similar fashion. But you will first need to find and mark or split at all the peaks. I'm not sure if RealBand or BIAB has these type of features. Different DAWs have various techniques for this.
The best way is as recommended by Charlie. Overdub, Punch In, or record several new tracks or Take Lanes then cut/copy/paste/merge the best parts to one or two keeper tracks.
Since my main instruments are vocal and guitar I tend to simply record the entire part several times until I like what I did and keep it. This reduces editing time. For me anyhow.

Another option (depending where you are in the project) is to use the Audio Chord Window to change the Tempo map of the song.
This would require regenerating all the audio tracks to match the new Tempo Map. The MIDI tracks would automatically adjust.

Sometimes it's quicker to adjust the rest of the song to match your playing than to get a 'perfect' take.

Then, after regenerating, the other tracks would play along with YOU instead of you trying to play along with them.. of course, this also depends on just how far off you got.
IOW
Would people notice ALL the instruments changing tempo more than you being off on a perfect tempo?

Yes. The simplest way is to put a microphone in front of the guitar or guitar amp. Connect the mic to your computers Line In or Mic In. You will be recording the guitar and will hear the guitar in the room while listening to the BIAB or RealBand tracks through the speakers connected to your computers Headphone Out or Line Out Jack. If using headphones tilt them off of one ear.

If you give us a list of the equipment you have for recording we could give you better direction.

That's the question I have. The gear makes a big difference as does the driver for the soundcard. The right one makes recording in sync a snap. A bad combination and your tracks are all over the place and totally out of sync.

With tracks that are out of sync but consistent, you can use a DAW and slide them into place. You can also use Melodyne to sync things up. The best bet is to use the proper sound card and record the tracks in sync to start with.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

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."
