Eddie,

One answer I'm a little surprised you didn't receive is Band-in-a-Box has been around longer than RealBand so users have grown accustomed to NOT using RealBand.

My theory is some users developed their workflow before RealBand was released. Users became comfortable using specific features within Band-in-a-Box then switching to a DAW as needed. RealBand is bypassed entirely so many Band-in-a-Box users are not aware of the program's capabilities.

If my theory is correct then perhaps this thread will help users better understand RealBand's capabilities.
