There will likely be as many different answers to your question on how to use real band (RB) as there are people posting to give you answers.


Me.... I use it simply to generate tracks. I complete the song first in BiaB as far as it's structure goes.... then I save it, close it, and reopen it in RB.

RB generates the tracks as audio tracks. I operate in the track view screen. I don't often listen to the track in RB. Yeah, I know that sounds strange but it's true. I highlight one of the existing original tracks and then click on one of the empty tracks and select "Generate a real track" and choose my new track from the drop down.

After I have generated the tracks, I export them to a folder and load them from there into my DAW.

That's the extent of what I do in real band.

Of course, this is just one way to use it..... It is a functional DAW and has tons of other features that I don't use or in some cases, even know about.
