Jim,

I understand what you are saying. Methinks.
Have examined contents of realtrack files.
They are piles of little wma's.
That is the extent of my knowledge there.

Am making assumption that UT's are used the same way.
Do not know this, but based on lousy results with some
really nice sounding wav templates, do think this is the case.
Complex multiple notes same time, don't think is good.
Simple wav templates seem to work the best.

Now going back to what you have said.
Quote:
Let's say you have four bars of something happening in the key of "C". If you insert a "C" in only note 1 of bar 1 the sgu file tells the BIAB or RealBand program here's four bars worth of "C" you can carve up and use as you see fit.
I agree with the software decisions being made. However the blank bars, can also contribute to a nice arrangement flow.
Click to reveal..
Now let's say you take those same four bars and label each bar as "C". Then the sgu file says there are four bars of "C". The probability of any of them being used in unison decreases dramatically but the possibility that bar 2,3, or 4 will get used is the same as bar 1.
My undertstanding is every time a chord is played in the sgu
a new action takes place. Would guess its a forced action. This would break up strings,
choirs, and other long held voices.

Experience is not necessarily the best teacher.
I have some number of completed tracks, just sitting there.
The note complexity is enemy number one for me.
We are not creating a realtrack, or anyway don't think we are.
Based on that premise we do not have a Folder with all the WMA files in it.

Anyway some more thoughts.

Jim, I appreciate your inputs. They are actually very similar to my own deductions.

Thank you

FrankB
