One of the criticisms I've read on various discussion groups that compare BIAB to RealBand is RBs fixed output. Whereas BIABs MIDI can be edited, the audio can't. I suspect that those who like BIAB for that reason would like RB as much if it were equally editable.
For that reason, I think a plugin that does approximately what Sonar's V-Vocal or Celemony's Melodyne does would make an already great program much more modifiable. It would allow the following kinds of edits:
1) if a real instrument left too much space betweenriffs, you could stretch the last note to make it sustain
2) if you wanted different notes than those that were generated, you could simply drag the note to a new pitch
3) you could add modulation
4) you could add harmonies

There are several free third-party VSTs that supposedly allow you to do this. I have successfully run GVST Gsnap Pitch Corrector in RealBand, and changed keys of a bass part. It wasn't perfect, and I imagine that if you were to buy AutoTune or Celemony or something you would get better results. Actually, come to think of it, I own a copy of Celemony's Melodyne essential, I should try that out in Real Band.

Ah. I remember now. Melodyne Essential is a rewire device, not a VST. The VST costs around $200.

Try right clicking in the tracks window to use the time-stretch feature for one of your requests.  Hilight the section in the audio edit window, then right click the area in the tracks window to time stretch. also gsnap should be here still- http://www.gvst.co.uk/gsnap_manual.htm
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
