Guys, thanks for the very speedy answers.

I'm generally on the same page as guitarhacker in that, for most of my files, I export my BIAB tracks as wavs and then mix them in Reaper. However, recently I've been putting together backing tracks for a duo where speed has been the essence. Even occasionally I'm taking requests in the first set and then, in the break, knocking up a rushed version on my laptop to play in the second set that same night. It's become a bit of a feature of our show.

I sketch something out in BIAB and then open in Realband, for some tweaking - but because of the time, speed and ease of use are the essence.

At the moment I hear something I like in BIAB and it's a bit of a drag, when I open the file in Realband, that I have to recreate the pan, reverb etc etc settings.

So, a somewhat particular circumstance, I recognise. Usually I'm all for the mix in a DAW from scratch approach.

Hey, I'll keep working at it!

Once again, I'm bowled over by how helpful people on these Forums are.

Thanks.
