John, one thing you may be missing is you don't have to make RB generate a whole track. You can simply generate however many bars you need by highlighting those bars with your mouse first. Then the generation times are very fast and remember don't open a Biab song in RB, D&D the tracks.



thanks Bob. I was aware of this but just have not had this need yet.

another reason I prefer a separate DAW is for the separate community. many DAWs have amazing communities and 3rd-party add-ons, tutorials, support, documentation, etc. I feel I benefit from being a part of that community in addition to the PG community. Here a lot of the focus is (rightly) on generation of music while the focus in my DAW community is more on recording and mixing audio.

and regarding the comments about how you can do anything in RealBand that you can do in any other DAW...if it works for you then great! I would strongly advise any BIAB user new to audio mixing to try RealBand and Reaper (or whatever DAW interests you) on a couple of projects and decide which one works best for your workflow.
