Concerning Real Band, I just got it a couple of days ago. Haven't looked at it very much. I might consider it if it does as much as I hope it does. I tried Power Tracks Pro a few years ago and didn't like the interface, that's why I switched to Cakewalk. I used to have the real Cakewalk many years ago when it was a DOS program but never switched to the Sonar series because of the cost. Anyway, I don't need a big software like Sonar to do what Ilike. Take care.
Mike.
