GUI is a software term that means Graphic User Interface. GUI is the tool you use to tell the program what you want to do, through which you input and retrieve data. It's the doorway that let's you interact with a software program.

Node based automation is a new feature for RealBand 2014 that allows you to preprogram one or more volume changes to an audio track. A node does two things: identifies the exact location of a volume change and gives the new volume level. By placing many nodes close together precise volume changes like fade-ins or fade-outs can be designed. Widely spaced nodes can be used to mute or highlight track measures (bars), phrases or sections. The key factor is automation provides for much better control over volume changes than can be obtained by manually controlling faders. Automation also allows volume changes to be consistent and repeatable.

Some plug-ins have built-in tempo based logic that allows the plug-in to creatively react to the tempo and time signature. This relieves much of the plug-in programming load off the user. BIAB and RealBand do not provide timing information to VST plug-ins so those plug-ins with logic can't use the logic so the user has to manually enter all the programming.
