This is obviously a feature that I need to get more familiar with and try to use as well as Guitarhacker does!!



If you have specific questions, simply ask here or by PM.

I am amazed at times, at how well real band will render parts. Listen to the song at the top of my sound click page... in particular the steel and fiddle.... this program blows me away some times.

Having said that... I sometimes have to render a real track several times to get something that sounds right and fits perfectly. (see my former post on the best christmas) I use Sonar to mix and edit the music and that is where and how I can do the things I do.... Every song I write takes a trip through 3 pieces of software... Band in a Box > Real Band > Sonar. Each one does a specific thing really well.
