I figured out what I was doing wrong. A realtracks needs to be selected prior to going into the Stylemaker.
So approach 2 needs to be used. There are 2 pulldown menus when you click on the patch icon for realtracks. Each pulldown menu needs to be selected for the specific instrument and each entry needs to match. For example, if you select 2607: Bass, Electric, ModernSlapFunkAlex Ev16 110 you must select this same realtrack in the second pulldown 2607: Bass, Electric, ModernSlapFunkAlex Ev16 110. This will save the realtracks to the style you are creating.
