I think the RealTracks Set 155: John Jarvis Pop Piano video demonstrates the problem with the piano transitions.

At 3:59, despite the change in dynamic levels, the transition between the Gm to the F is good. But the next change at 4:02 from the C to the Bb, you can hear the glitch as it crossfades between the two.

This is especially problematic when the track (like this one) is a solo ballad style, because it's completely exposed.

If you're using these styles, using RealBand is probably the best approach, so you can spot issues and replace them with cleaner changes. It's just the nature of this sort of technology that this sort of thing happens.

Bet that piano would sound nice with the new cello RealTrack underneath...

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
