Maybe I'll go back to looking at the "Slim Phatty" by Moog if I take the computer with me anyway. It costs almost twice as much but the reviews on it are really good. What do you think? Would it handle the RealTracks alot better?



Russ this doesn't make sense because you don't understand this stuff. The Moog is just a synth, it has nothing to do with Real Tracks. A synth or computer doesn't "handle" RT's. In fact a synth by itself has nothing to do with an RT, in order for any synth to play a RT it will need an onboard audio file player and that Moog doesn't have one. A synth is based on midi. Band in a Box generates a Real Track. A RT is an audio file just like a track from your favorite CD is an audio file. So the question is will your synth or computer handle a track from a CD? In the context of this thread he answer to the computer part or your question is yes if you've rendered the CD track to a wav or MP3 file. Many times folks will use both RT's and the midi sounds from a synth so then you have to look at now to mix them together and also make sure they are synched time wise. Sometimes the midi part will play slightly behind the RT part. That's called latency and is a whole other discussion but it's not a problem just something for you to know about.

Your point about this being a foreign language is exactly correct. I've pointed this out many times on this forum. You have to learn the language before you can learn how to work with this stuff. Keep reading and if you see a term you don't understand just Google it. A full explanation will pop up and usually Wikipedia will be the first hit. Do me a big favor and don't initially ask about a term here, Google it first then ask if you need to.
