BIAB obeys and plays the bass line on the beat....

BUT....

It also plays a boring piano part bang on the beat, punching chords (same chord) ad nasueum like a metronome.

I guess BIAB doesn't take too kindly to being tricked. frown

And can it easily record multiple takes, allow easy editing, smooth fade-in's/outs, multiple fx's plus a ton more features that Reaper has?


Real Band was referred to use because it is the only DAW that specifically addresses The BIAB limitation you had with RealTracks. No other DAW will do that without live instruments. It can easily do your list including a ton more features related to BIAB that Reaper or no other DAW has.

The good news is you do not have to spend a lot of time learning in order to fix your issue in RB. You should already know how to generate a real track from BIAB. Multi riff works the same. Cut/Paste, move/copy work the same as other DAW's. Just use the features you need to fix the problem. You may spend a lot of time either setting up for someone or yourself to play the part; Certainly more time than it takes to regenerate a song.

The issues with your tracks can be fixed 'in house' with a BIAB method in either BIAB or RB if you want it to. There are simply more options available in RB. Beside that, it is a technique you will find valuable in future projects.
