First off, the one feature you questioned that I use most is to 'make all BB tracks regular tracks'.

The main difference is that BB tracks tend to act more like the tracks in BiaB; when you generate, they all get regenerated again.
Some users like to think of the 'make all BB tracks regular tracks' feature as an equivalent to 'freezing' a track in BiaB, but it freezes all tracks.
It's not really the same because you can't ever regenerate frozen tracks in BiaB .. in RB, if you intentionally highlight a section of a track and generate it, it will generate if it is a 'regular track', so it's not really 'froze'.


The 'BB track' feature lets you generate ALL of multiple BB tracks as different instruments easily in one process.
Making them regular tracks means they don't automatically regenerate unless you specifically tell RB to do so on a given track.

I tend to want to work on each track once I am in RB. If I want to keep generating multiple tracks at the same time to see what it does, I do that in BiaB (faster).

But I like to work on each track by itself pretty early on (once I know the chords and style .. might as well go to RB and start working on each track).
That's just my workflow. I know others are different, but this info may help.

Other question; no. being a BB track does not mean it is MIDI. If the style contained Reatracks, it can be a RT.

If it is a 'regular track' you can generate many styles on the same track quickly if desired, or just regenerate a given section easily.
If they are a BB track you risk accidentally regenerating over something you wanted. This is usually easily reversed, but if you heard one thing you want in the new 'accidental' generation, you have to decide whether to keep the rest with it .. so it's an option with both features and consequences.

Hoped this help clarify the difference.
