Biab only works with 44.1 but RealBand being a DAW will work with any setting. With the setting at 44.1, you not have that issue again.

Regardless of any DAW you use, it will have to be set up with certain default on the initial startup. You will have to set up midi input/output even if you don't use midi. You'll have to set the bit rate and similar settings.

Once the program settings are complete, RealBand retains the settings so it only has to be done once.

Once RB is setup, you will find it has many Biab 'wishlist' features. To name a few, it has markers you can place anywhere in your song so you can label the song structure, intro, verse 1, verse 2, pre chorus, chorus, verse 3, chorus, outro or similar, it has 48 tracks rather than 8. You can have access and use of all 16 midi channels, tracks can be grouped and color coded, it allows you to 'see' your song in a timeline, the mixer section and outputs are much more robust than the Biab mixer and it has the editing features of a DAW.

It has useful features that Biab doesn't have at all such as the ability to select and regenerate a section of a track rather than have the whole track regenerate as it does in Biab. A track will only generate or regenerate if you tell it to, unlike Biab does a complete regeneration unless a track is frozen. It has a multiriff feature that will generate 7 different segments of audio/midi of a selection or an entire track. You can choose any number or all of the seven to use in your song. I had a song with a track I generated from 18 different multiriff selections. That is like having a session musician generate 126 punch in's were that to be done in a live session.
