SILVERBACK,

Great question. I bet your post will start plenty of discussion.

You mentioned you haven't tried RealBand because you don't want to quit using Reaper. The good news is you don't have to; it's not an either \ or situation. You can use both programs! Actually you can use all three programs BiaB, RB and Reaper.

Your complaint is it is difficult to get a solo you like. That is one area RB excels in because RB has two advantages over BiaB. First BiaB is limited to eight tracks while RB can have up to 48 tracks. Second RB allows you to highlight a section of a track then regenerate just the highlighted section while BiaB always regenerates a complete track.

Not only will RB regenerate track sections you can also use the multi-riff feature. Multi-riff is when RB gives you up to seven selections to choose from for each highlighted section. That means you have seven choices to choose from.

Another way RB can help you build the perfect solo is you can select multiple solo variations when they are available. For instance there might be both a fingerpick and chet style of a guitar solo so you can use Four bars of one and four bars of the other.

Finally you can change styles or modify the RB chordsheet to add variety to your solo.

Once you've generated lots of solo variations then move the variations to Reaper for more processing.
