3: Optionally, export the RB tracks to a different DAW for final mastering, mixing etc.

Many times, there's no need to go past Step 1.

So I think that many users start with BiaB, and take it to RealBand if required. Some might skip Step 2 all together.

Others will chip in with their work flow.

1,2,3... just like that.

Trying to skip a step is like trying to use a 3 legged stool with only 2 legs.


Well I would contend it’s much easier to walk on two legs than it is on three.

Step2 is not necessary for me because once I have dragged the first generation of tracks to the DAW from BIAB I can then replace one of the instruments (or more) in BIAB with an another, regenerate and then drag that new instrument (or a number) to a new track or tracks in the DAW.

You can then select sections of the tracks as active as required by zeroing out the volume line in the track for parts of the track(s) not required. It actually allows greater flexibility since it is an easy matter to change active parts in the added tracks on the run while in the DAW.

That's basically the way I work.
