Hi All please dont shoot the messenger!! On another music forum I was using a full RT backing track with one of my tunes and it was "suggested" that these are not HUMAN people playing REAL guitars, pianos, accordions etc etc but very very good midi. None of it is ACTUAL, its ALL midi, whether its called a Real Track or not. Before I send the boys round to his house (lol!) can I have an official explanation of why he might think this so - if its not true. cheers ian

As I understand it, Real Tracks are actual recordings of real human players on their real instruments. That's why you sometimes get the occasional noise glitch.
Now, I suspect a number of the posted User Tracks were created from MIDI sources played through high quality synths, but the RealTracks themselves are real instruments and the RealDrums were played on real drum sets and recorded in stereo (which is partly why you can't break them down into their individual components). I think some of the piano parts may be recorded through a digital piano (which aids in transcription), but the actual playing is real, not notes from a MIDI source. I suspect that the session artists that contributed to them wouldn't allow their names to be associated with them were they not real.

I'd say show them some examples of pedal steel guitar and some fiddle solos. Ask them to find examples ANYWHERE of someone doing MIDI pedal steel well enough to make it sound real.
If that doesn't convince them, then I'd say, ignore them - their loss - you have real tracks backing up your music... the best musicians in the world, at that...
Give 'em a wink and walk away...

Many folks have difficulty accepting the notion that computer algorithms can time stretch and pitch change a, yes, real player's track. But that is the genius of RealTracks. Tell them to deal with it :-)

We cant be there this year. Sob! Let me know next time... You have to learn to ignore those people. Let 'em have their opinions. Let 'em have their MIDI. Let 'em have their "I only do [whatever]"... We have BIAB. It is magical. Truly. The best revenge is having backing tracks played by the likes of Brent Mason, John Jarvis, Andy Leftwich...

This is why I agree with the advice of several wise forum members here who have said it is best just to avoid the conversation. As soon as you start trying to explain how this works you will either 1) lose them in the details or 2) get into an argument about whether it is real or not! As to the validity of their point...I would have to admit there is some!  I always wonder whether the output RealTracks, in the new key I selected, at a different tempo than how it was recorded, maybe starts to become closer to computer-generated and further from "real"! Chord voicings is another one I wonder about after I have transposed my tune. And then there is that occasional awkward transition from one bar to the next that a live player would likely not do. (And yes, I do know I can edit these things and regenerate, etc.) So, yeah, I'd say an ace musician could probably tell the difference between custom session work and RealTracks. But, as a practical matter, I really don't care! And back to my original point...I'll just choose not to have the conversation!

Yeah.. I've heard that kind of thing in the Cakewalk forums. They either think it's midi or call it cheating.
All that aside.... the truth is, you can open your real track folder and navigate to any of the various sub folders and open them and see the actual wave tracks. Listen to them.
They are NOT midi, using a good synth. They are actual live players...hence the names of the players in the RT list.
As Floyd said.... No steel synth or fiddle synth running a midi track can sound remotely close. I have had people PM me and ask me who I had playing the fiddle and steel.
I try to avoid the conversations about RT & BB in other forums because I don't need the drama and grief of dealing with folks who refuse to believe BB/RB is a real, and viable way to render real instrument tracks.
If people are open to new ideas and ask, I will bend over backwards explaining BB and RB and how it works so they can understand. Several folks have picked up BB as a result of discussions about the music and how good it sounds after discussing things with me.

I have been using BIAB since version 7 for DOS, which came on two 3-1/2" floppies, in the mid 1990s. Every time I showed it to someone, it ended being called, in one way or another, "cheating." Eventually I quit trying. Richard Edited to add: Do the $99 deal, then upgrade to the UltraPlusPAK during the December sale. You can thank me later.

+1 John (jFord). And when you've heard some of those occasional noises there's NO DOUBT it's a real person because in some cases you can hear breathing, tapping, maybe a getting into it grunt, string noise....
A few times over the years I've thought what the heck was that noise and then solo'd to hear - it's kind of cool when you hit one that has that little extra ump that slipped into the recording...
I love Realtracks. If someone is convinced they're hearing midi, I wouldn't take that person too seriously.

When somebody says "it is Midi" just smile.
You know it isn't.
And be proud of that really ingenious synth that has real intonation on trumpet, cool pedal work for the pedal steel, extra cider movements -- excuse me, not cider but strong bow -- and features on other instruments that are yet not possible to be mimicked in Midi.
(From a sales person's point of view: Smile. The last one who talks loses.) (A German proverb: He who excueses, accuses himself.) (From Les Paul, after his mother told him she had heard him on the radio when he wasn't: "I invented something that she couldn't mistake somebody else for me anymore.")

Hi folks thanks for the support! Didnt need it really - I'm a bit evangelical over our awesome RTs - but my friend in SA is utterly convinced that it is all midi. Grr! SO - I've set him a task.  I've sent him one of my ALL RT SGU's and simply asked him to send me back the midi file he makes from it.  He may be some time!!! Cheers ian

When somebody says "it is Midi" just smile. I agree. I use RTs, mostly for clients who want to record a vocal. They are amazed at how fast and how real sounding backing tracks I can get for them for them by using RTS. However: And be proud of that really ingenious synth that has real intonation on trumpet, cool pedal work for the pedal steel, extra cider movements -- excuse me, not cider but strong bow -- and features on other instruments that are yet not possible to be mimicked in Midi.
Is not true anymore. Check these out to see what I mean. Note you can get the identical results at home as you can on these demos: Pedal Steel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWjRTeIO2fghttp://www.wavelore.com/products.php?product=WLPStrumpet: http://www.samplemodeling.com/en/products_trumpet.phpstrings: http://www.kirkhunterstudios.com/audiodemos_diamond.htmlI am not trying to start a war, I am just trying to set the record straight. There is a lot of misinformation out about MIDI, especially on this site. IMHO this is because people compare RTs with the crappy GM MIDI sound source that comes with their products. I agree that comparing those two sound sources RTs win hands down. But there is another world of sound sources out there if one wants to explore. A world where a lot of musicians and music companies live.

Mario - like you, I'm not trying to "start a war"... but.. those pedal steel examples sound like ... good MIDI representations of pedal steel, not like a real pedal steel. It - and a good fiddle solo - are still the things that I have never heard "done right" via MIDI. Your sax/wind controller stuff - EXCELLENT - as good as real... some things can be done - you've proved that... respectfully, floyd btw... in fact... it was the never-ending search for "how do I get pedal steel and fiddle (that sounds "real") in my songs at home" that lead me to BIAB 3 years ago. End of search.

Hi Floyd.
You may be right on the Pedal Steel. I am not really familiar with real pedal steel. I have only played one gig with one the time I helped a band that desperately needed a lead guitarist for the night. Plus I very rarely use one in my music. So in my mind this VSTi sounded the most realistic one that I have never heard. Those who play one or are very familiar with one can tell the difference.
Which brings me to the fact that I have never heard a good MIDI guitar either. I'll bet you haven't either!
I also know very little about fiddle solos but I do know that I have never heard a good MIDI one.
But it is just a matter of time IMHO before someone comes out with good MIDI sound sources for those instruments. If you remember they used to say the same thing about sax, trumpet, oboe, well just about all wind instruments but now they are all expertly covered.
Just my thoughts.

Maybe it was the picture, maybe it was the sound -- it probably was a combination of both: it sounded like a piano with a pedal steel sound. Yes, what I have heard is by far the best midi steel. This one is okay for backing sounds where they are disguised in a sound carpet. If it plays a lead solo, well, it is a piano sounding like a pedal steel.
But often the difficult instruments sound like a piano. The beginning of a note and the ending of a note are often clearly defined, but on most instruments there is not one beginning and not one end. There are multiple variants of both. A piano has only one for a start, a felt hammer hits the key. (Yes I know there are nuances depending of the speed you hit the key.) And two for the ending: 1. it fades, 2. it is stopped by another felt.
But still, I didn't know about that one, it is worth investigating. And in most cases this will be faster and still sufficiant -- compared to set up my pedal steel and practice half a year to play one or two licks.
And by the way, I would not engage in a war. It is not efficiently used energy. You people are too nice for that.

I don't like to get into wars either however when I disagree with what someone has written I always add that statement. I may not agree with someone but I do respect their right to say whatever is on their mind. What I say is just my opinion and others may agree or disagree. I agree people here are very nice. peace

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
