@Sundance,
I even used to have Audacity on the computer but got rid of it because I didn't even know what it was for back then. Oh well, can always download it again. Without checking much about it yet, Audacity is NOT a DAW like Reaper is, correct?

Anyhow, looking up a tutorial about Audacity on YouTube I found this 41 second video on how to use Audacity to improve vocals:

Now is that cool or what!!??

Oh, back to the subject. I tried what you said and, as usual, hit a snag. All I know is that the song in question, when saved in RealBand, has the extension .SEQ. So to answer your question "are all the 'audio' parts of the song in your Seq file" I have to answer "I don't know!" All I know is that when I open the song all the tracks appear where they are supposed to in RealBand. But when I try your instructions I can't see the song!! That is, (1) when I open up my bb files in RealBand I see dozens and dozens of files all of which I can open in Real Band. That also includes the song in question as well as other songs I've tinkered a bit with and all of which have the extension .SEQ. But when I do as you say I get a different window and not nearly as many files show and, in particular, NOT A SINGLE SONG WITH THE SEQ FILES SHOWS. Therefore, obviously, I can't click on any of them because they aren't listed. (I sure hope I'm explaining this well enough). I think I'm missing a step somewhere.

In the meantime, I'll download Audacity with Lame. At least I can do that. I think.

P.S. I just found out that Google Search helps for more things that I thought it did!

P.S. And, seeker, thanks for the "Soundclick or Soundcloud" headsup. Will check them out. Already found out that the MP3 was too large to send in an email. Well, at least I've gotten that far.
