Ok thanks for the feedback guys...

But one thing I find odd from those of you that do not use RB, how do you go about making all of the tracks for your tues in BB.

I see BB and RB as 2 different tools in my toolbox that can do many of the same things, but I use them very differently.

Like I may have stated I start in BB and get my song to where I am happy with it's arrangement and basic band sound...bass, drums, guitar, piano etc...basically your bed tracks.

Then I import that song into RB and from there add to what I have with other instruments that may be other rhythm or backing instruments or solo instruments.

I took the page from how many people record and when picking solo instruments I take multiple takes of the ones I choose. For example if I find a great guitar soloist that works I will create 4 or more tracks of that players work. Then when I get to my DAW (Samplitude Pro X2) I add all those instruments in and work through them...much like you would in a real studio session.

And like Deacon above stated I too use the multi-riff generation function to create the intro, solos and or extros I want to hear that to me are very specific and important. Most of the time the 4 plus takes (per instrument) that I have of the instruments I have chosen in the song are adequate to produce more than enough fills for the rest of the song...and if not well then I just go back to my RB friend and generate a few more.

That is how I do things but I was wondering if I could cut out the BB part and go straight to using RB. And now that Noel has enlightened me as to why BB seems so much faster than RB to generate or re-generate stuff...well that makes sense...plus RB doesn't seem to have what BB has in the way of a Generate and Play button all in one...(unless I'm wrong). It's a 2 step process...click to generate...then click to play....not a big deal just an annoyance...:)
