Hi Perdido
I use the Tracks window (Control-1) and the Mixer window (Control-8) mostly.
The Tracks window lets me regenerate part of a bar, set VST's etc. You can also use Automation for volume handling etc.

There are fewer Real Band videos than BiaB so you should be able to follow them reasonably well
Start off at the Beginner Section on this page and work down.

Don't be too concerned about how difficult Real Band might be, it's quite straightforward actually, and much more powerful than BiaB

Hope this helps
