Jan,

What Mac says about mixing is very true. My limited experience with the "Audition" feature is that it plays the instrument as a solo and that is not really any indication as to what it's going to sound like in a mix. To get the best mixed sound, adjustments in pan, volume and reverb are often needed.

Also, and I stand to be corrected here, I think the "Audition" feature plays the Realtracks at their recommended speed. This could be a problem if the recommended speed of the track you're auditioning is significantly different from the tempo of your song. For example, if you audition a guitar RT that's meant to be played at 140 bpm and then put it into a song that's 100 bpm, it will sound ok when auditioned but may not sound the best in the song. As I said, though, this is just how I remember it. I'll have a fiddle with "Audition" when I get home and see if my memory is accurate.

Personally, I prefer to add the RT to my song and then generate the whole track rather than audition the track. This seems to be just as quick and it allows me to hear the track in the mix as well as at the song's tempo.

All the best,
Noel
