Hi to all BIAB experts out there;
I have used an acoustic piano Realtrack (2047 PianoMIDISolAcCtrySwJohnSw85) as an Intro to a song and it fits my chord sequence and tempo perfectly although I have not explicitly specified this an Intro in the 'Song Settings dialogue'. I would like to use the same identical variation a second time in the song as a bridge section played over identical chords and tempo as the Intro. However, BIAB plays back a different variation the second time around. I have switched off the 'use different variations in choruses' button and have ticked the button to use simple variations but BIAB still changes the solo the second time around.
Does anybody have a not-too-difficult workaround that forces Realtracks to use the same solo or sequence of notes every time?
Many thanks for your help,

Can't be done in BIAB. You get what it plays. You can freeze it when you hear something nice, but you have to freeze the entire track.

Yes to what Matt said. Bring the song into Real Band. Find the riff that you want and then copy-paste it in other places. Sometimes I will take a single part, generate a Realtracks, then set up two blank tracks below the original to accept copied-and-pasted riffs. Gives a nice degree of flexibility. Make sure you know how to use the "Multiriff" feature in RB. Begin by R-clicking in a Realtrack and choose "Multiriff' from the menu. Once in a while, I have found Realtracks that just happened to match the melody of the song I was working on. By careful cutting and pasting I was able to make Realtracks match my melody. Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg6gF9siJeg&list=PLA4F3474E15D59D98

Yes, and it's not just to copy/paste sections of what you like. You have more control over what gets changed by using RealBand.
In BIAB, Regenerate changes the whole track, but in RealBand, you can regenerate parts of a track. You might find that a little variation works, as opposed to a lot of variation (and by that, I mean by changing the entire track each time).

Thanks for all your replies and help. I guess I'll have to delve into the mysteries of Realband to get what I'm after. Do you think that a feature such as this is worth adding to the BIAB wishlist?

I would love to see this feature added to BIAB!! I have no desire to use RealBand other than for this feature. And I find that when I start a song in BIAB, adding bar settings and stuff, then move my song to RealBand all of that work is lost.
