Looking closely at the situation, I have a feeling that the problem may be in my setup of the last song I did. In it I told BIAB that I didn't want to use RD or RT. Now I have to find where I made these choices. BUT... does BIAB save these settings from song to song? Perhaps I should know this before I start pulling my hair out looking for them? As for assigning real tracks... I right click on strings for example to assign pedal steel for example. It tells me that there are no Real Tracks available. But when I click on "show RealTracks that are NOT available" I get the list.

As for Mac's suggestion... I did restore BIAB to the factory settings even before I posted - and rebooted... it didn't work.

TIA...
