Thanks John. What I need to stop doing is setting up the intro, one verse and one chorus and going to sample it. Then when I finish the song and I regenerate, those first 32 bars are often different.

I have never manually picked a drum pattern out either, always going with what my style selection gave me, so that is more experimenting I get to do. I really don't want to get into the MIDI tracks and will do what you suggested and just set up a template with those 8 tracks gone. Like that idea a lot.
