Thanks guys..Yea the desktop is part of my "orchestra pit". In other words it lives there. What I have used in the past was stereo tracks in Sound Forge 9. Set up markers and jump there with a keystroke (in my case a midi keyboard set to trigger the jump. It worked GREAT!!! I was the orchestra leader, the song went to wereever I told it as long as I triggered on beat. But the problem was there was no continuity to the song service, ie, one track was country, one was fully orchestrated, different drums, bass etc. When realtracks came alone I realized I could utilize the same "musicians" and have a song service that sounded the same from start to finish. The continuity helps the flow of the service, plus I had more control of the arrangement, I could stretch out the ending, slow it down CONTROL!!!. It seems like the perfect fit. EXCEPT, for the previously mentioned bugs. I have worked with the conductor and see its limitations and I think I can make it work in biab. However I am transfering all my songs to Realband, because I can't freeze the arrangements in biab without the realdrums being kicked out and replaced with midi drums. YUK!! And the tracks have to be frozen because of load time. If I could solve the drum problem I would be closer to a real world solution. I could use conductor and my Frontier transport has more function in biab.
Thanks for your help
