I did get off topic from your original question. Lets talk about Mercy, Mercy. I've done that tune since it was a hit. This is a perfect example of how Biab is not good for creating exact covers of one particular tune...
...Another thing. Again, using RB you can really cheat and use an actual audio recording of the song and sample parts of it to create a loop. Say you find a 2 or 4 bar section of a nice rhythmic vamp that is what you're looking for. Cut that 4 bars from the audio track, paste it into it's own separate track and build the song from that. There are many ways to do this.
Bob Thanks Bob, this post was really helpful! I have not messed with RB at all yet but the features you mention above sound like I could take advantage of them once I figure out how they work.

RB is pretty cool but like anything else there's a learning curve. Think of RB like a regular DAW spliced together with Biab but it's NOT simply another version of Biab, it's a completely separate program with it's own way of doing things. As a DAW RB has much better midi functions plus your song is laid out track by track in a linear style just like tracks on tape.
You've got 48 tracks, you can generate multiple versions of any one part like 4, 5 or even 10 completely different styles of Real Drums, different Real Track guitar parts or any other instrument, mix and match all those any way you want, add loops, add your own recordings of parts, add midi tracks, whatever it takes to complete your project.
Start haunting the RB forum, watch the videos and play with the program.

Thanks Bob! When I can find some spare time I will do just that.
