Yes, as I suspected.

This is normal behavior for BIAB. Think of it as saving the song instructions rather than the actual selected phrases from Real Tracks (what you think of as the whole project), thereby saving a great deal of file space. In addition, for many users, the randomization of what you get every time you press Play is a desired feature.

You really do need to use Real Band or another sequencer program if you want to save and manipulate the exact sounds. The greatest feature of Real Band is that it reads the BIAB files. Using the two programs together is very powerful.
