this was mentioned in another thread along with the suggestion that it should be added to the tips and tricks. Since the original poster (Silvertones) has not done so, I've decided to go ahead and post it because I think it is a great idea, and one that not very many people know about:

Quote:

Since RB doesn't regenerate every track when you regenerate one of them, You can get more variety between tracks by changing the chord sheet slightly for each track. Some instruments may sound better with a busier set of chords while other tracks/instruments sound best with a very simple arrangement.

Adding transitional chords can really influence the way decorative or solo instruments embellish the fundamental chord pattern.

Also, by changing the slash note for different tracks, you can eliminate redundancy and introduce controlled harmonic progressions at the bottom end.

You can also get some interesting effects by varying the shots, holds, rests, pushes, pulls and section markers from one track to the next

Strings may sound better with a simple triad, while a more complex chord may allow another track more freedom of movement. These are just a few thoughts, your experimentation may yield far more benefits than I've touched on here.
