@jazzmandan,
I certainly don't mind paying for things I like. I am still on "evaluation" time for Reaper but if I don't end up getting it to do what I need, and WITHOUT too much of a hassle, I'll try something else. Everything went smooth until I actually tried to use it with a song from RB. I know there are lots of different things out there so what I can't grasp easily enough then I'll try something else which I might be able to grasp easily enough. Like both BIAB and RB, okay, for the most part. Frankly, I can't get over my "luck" at not having to do much of anything to get BIAB/RB to work. I wish everything was as easy. Indeed, I didn't know ANYTHING about setting up the "synth"/soundcard whatever and just clicked on stuff and after that BIAB/RB worked first time I tried it!! But there is the possibility I lost too many brain cells after I turned 60 and that's why I can't grasp some of this stuff faster.

Right now I am here AGAIN:

Will watch that again tomorrow.

I've actually checked on that program you linked to and I'll give it a try tomorrow. One thing I like about programs that COST is the tech support. Question. Will it install easily or will I have to do a bunch of thinking and clicking? (I'm tired of asking my kid to install stuff).

And while I'm here, one thing I really like about Reaper is that the "arming" and "UNarming"? of MULTIPLE tracks is easy. Why isn't it easy with RealBand?

I do have to say that although I might be asking a lot of questions I HAVE progressed. Now just trying to fine tune a few things that I feel are absolutely necessary for me to know in order to finalize songs to my liking.
