I agree. BB isn't perfect but what it does, is impressive. Personally writing backing tracks in a flash is nothing new to me, as a long time user of Yamaha arranger keyboards.

But the Realtracks blow me away. I never use the title maker, the automatic song-maker, etc etc....I like to write my own music and use BB to just write down the song after I have devised chords, melody, and song structure. In other words, there's a zillion of features in BB that I never use. The chord 'recognizer' (don't know how it's called) from audio files, doesn't work too well, or at least, it works only with very simple chord progressions, which my ear recognizes rather accurately anyways.

I have used BB for years but stopped a couple of years ago because the program would continually crash, especially when I would load Realtracks. I did try everything, even installing different soundcards. Nothing worked and I grew very, very frustrated and gave up and went back to my Tyros 2 keyboard (which is a great instrument too).

Then I changed soundcard again (an old Terrated PCI) tried BB again with that, and now it works very well.
No more crashes and problem, the Realtracks load up very well, so now I am very happy. Nothing else sounds like these Realtracks and Realdrums.

I don't know if now it works well because the bugs were fixed or because BB just works well with that Terratec soundcard, but needless to say, I am not going to change the soundcard again, not in years...
