Hi All!
Some of what I have to ask is quite obvious to me and some is a bit vague.
When I try to "build" a RT style in either 3/4 or 6/8 do I always have to use a RT style that is a Waltz?
Yes, I know as far as the drums are concerned (and probably the Bass) I have to specifically use a 3/4 or 6/8 RT for those instruments.
But what about the other instruments? Piano, Guitar, Strings......
I was thinking that as long as I use the "Bar Settings" dialogue box, and enter a "3" for "# of Beats This Bar", I should be good to go, Yes?
I haven't tried this yet, but will as soon as I get to the studio.
By the way, Why don't we have more "Odd Time RT" anyway? We could surely use them PG Music.
This program is moving along quite well with it's abilities to produce, or add to, professional sounding tracks. Let's keep the ball rolling!!
BIAB is always surprising me, and I'm always surprising my musician friends as well as clients when I tell them that I've used BIAB in a particular project that I've worked on. They really can't believe it!!
I use Sonar 8.5 and X1 as my main DAW, but when I add BIAB and a couple of other programs that I have to my arsenal, I surprise myself!!
Thanks PG Music!

I've found quite a few RTs that crossover just fine. Swings crossover to Even feel, and 4s to 3s. For example, Pop Acoustic Swing Bass plays very nicely in a Bossa (even) style.
Best bet is to just try some combinations despite any feel differences. You may be surprised.
The underlying style is what determines beats per measure. There are some Blank styles that you can use as a template. Just start with the Blank style, add chords and pick your instruments.

You can use 4/4 realtracks in 3-beat bars to make 3/4 or 6/8, but you cannot use any 3/4 styles in a 4/4 (because there is no data on beat 4 of a 3/4 style or realtrack).
