for some reason RealBand seems to load my projects very slowly. A project that loads and generates in about 10 seconds in BIAB takes 90 seconds to load and play in RealBand. And if I export my tracks into Reaper the project loads and plays instantly (of course I understand it is not generating RealTracks!)



John, look at what you just said here. "export to Reaper". Do the same thing to Real Band and it opens instantly too. Use the D&D DAW function. You're opening a Biab file in RB so yes, it's regenerating all the parts. What RB is telling you is how long it really takes to generate those tracks. Biab has a trick called "fast generation". It starts playing your tune before it has finished generating because 99% of the time you don't stop the song right away. If you stop it too soon and then hit play immediately after, Biab locks up because it hasn't finished generating.

Bob, that's why I said "of course I understand it is not generating RealTracks!".

But my bottom line is if I was comparing only DAW features Reaper would win hands-down (for me). The only benefit RealBand might bring me over Reaper is the ability to work with RealTracks. And now we're back to slow track generation. Honestly I kinda assumed my system had some problem but if you're telling me RealBand is always that slow in generating RealTracks songs that's even more reason for me to use BIAB to do the generation and my DAW for arranging everything. I have not been bothered by the time BIAB takes to generate my songs and once I get the tracks I want it is simple to export and use the DAW.

But tell me if I'm missing something! If you remove RealTracks from the conversation is there any other compelling feature RealBand has as a DAW that I am missing out on?
