Thanks all, I'm going to give Real Band a go. I have a Presonus USB Audiobox, which I will use.. I fooled a bit with Real Band, Mixcraft & Reaper this evening.
The thing I like about Real Band & Mixcraft so far is when I imported a Midi file into it, These 2 programs put everything into seperate tracks, & in some Midis even broke the drums down, snare, crash, bass drum on separate tracks.. When I imported the same file into Reaper, it broke it down, but wouldn't play them. I guess I have to import some kind of sound, & is more complicated for me, at least as far as Midi goes. I guess it will play Wave files, though I haven't tried them yet...
If I can get used to Real Band & don't run into any latency problems, I'll stay with it , at least for the near future. I read a lot where latency seems to be a problem with computer recording. I don't have any latency concerns with the Korg Stand alone recorder.
I really do like my Korg & am used to it, just would like one less piece of equipment to set up if it works..
Thanks to all again & that explains to me why there are preferences. At first I thought it was because Real Band fell under an entry level, & inferior DAW.
