Thank you very much Noel. The RealBand solution using Render works just fine for me. I did try the BIAB solution but there seems to be a tug of war with the sound card when Ableton starts while I'm in DAW mode with BIAB. But the RealBand solution is just fine.

One thing bothers me a bit and I think you told me how to calculate this when importing my audio track to Ableton. It's how I align the tracks to start at the correct time (including the MIDI). You've helped so much that I almost hesitate to ask.

Regards
