Maybe I missed something but searching for a style or a track can be overwhelming.
Same for real tracks.
Some sort of librarian or new structure would be really nice.
I use Studio One and I can find one of my thousands of plugins in a second I several different ways.

The StylePicker has multiple methods available to apply filters to search for a style. The RealTracks and RealDrums pickers also have multiple search filters. Could you provide an example of what you are looking for and what methods you find are missing or could be improved? PS: 'Thousands of plugins'. That sounds quite impressive

Two different issues about two different pickers.
StylePicker is the picker for finding styles while the RealTracks picker is the picker for finding RealTracks.
Can you provide easier search examples for both finding a style and for finding a RealTrack?

Style Picker allows me to filter my results but I still end up with hundreds of styles. And the styles names are often no help in figuring out what they sound like.
Real track picker would benefit somewhat from similar filters as the style picker. As it stands now I can only filter by single terms. Try searching for a 12/8 track. Some are labeled 128 others 12-8 and others 12/8.

I agree it would be nice for time signatures to be consistent and for other style data field inconsistencies to be addressed. +1

Yes, definitely better search filtering for RealTracks, similar to the StylePicker, would be a benefit.

This is somewhat off of the main topic here, however...
I've sometimes thought that a pop-up with details of the style under the cursor, or better on a single-click on the style, might be a useful feature. That said, in truth I get irritated about blasted pop-ups everywhere. It definitely should not then need closing for every style. One close when finished, or auto-close/repopulate on the next style. Similar may be good for RealTracks or MIDI, too.
I certainly find that tiny little notes window frustrating.
