Real Tracks are great, but you don't have anywhere near as much control as a pro engineer in a great room with a U87 through an API on Don Henley's voice. grin

That's what my intent was to say Bob. Take raw RealTracks, put them in the best studio, with the best engineers, equipment, processing, pro vocalists, etc. and I believe the end result would be 'radio ready'. I read articles about recording sessions and many times less than stellar tracks make it into major recordings. The instrumentalists and recording quality of BIAB RealTracks on average exceed what can be accomplished by many users of BIAB. So, if I were to take one of my original songs to Nashville, go to a great studio,hire session musicians and pay for a recording session mix - I do not think Brent Mason would be there. I'm sure a very, very good no name would be but even then, I don't think the session musicians would be playing their -A- game licks like they would bring to a session for Luke Bryan, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood.

I think I would get a very high quality, generic backing track and even if Bill S. were in the building, I would have a 'rising star' apprentice at the controls.

It that would be the case, I think BIAB tracks would stack up very well against what most unknown, self financed, trying to make it big in Nashville artists would get.
