I save each track as a stem. I can reimport it to RealBand as a dry un-edited track in case I need to start over with editing. Or, in case I want to copy/paste sections of a duplicate track into the actual track I'm going to keep. Example; I might copy and drum roll from the stem/duplicate track from bar 16 and paste it into my keeper drum track at bar 32. Or, I'll have a synth panned far left for most of the song on ,say, track 7, then use the duplicate to center up a section when I want it to stand out. Just some quirky way I've learned to pseudo automate things in RealBand. Unless RB has panning automation that I don't know about. Sometimes I duplicate the acoustic guitar track. Both tracks are panned slight left and slight right for, say, the intro or particular passages during the song but the rest of the time one of the tracks is silent. This moves the acoustic out of the way during a verse or chorus and widens it up full during a rhythmic section without vocals. Again, it's just a tweeky way I do things that makes me feel creative.

Does the noise in your head bother me ?
