Mac,

I agree with you 1,000%.
Unfortunately with the flux of posts the original point(s) have gotten lost.

Here is the original problem:
I wanted a single Rendered file to e-mail to someone so they could hear the song.
When I rendered it, the RT was not included in the WAV file ... it was the original midi ... even though what is heard when played in BiaB is the Real Track.

Thus the title of this thread: "Rendering Didn't Keep It Real."

Make sense now?

As an experiment to try and isolate the problem, I Rendered into the separate tracks ... and the RT was included then. But! it didn't start at the same time as the others.
