Hi James,

Many people who have Windows BIAB do not use Realband.

While I do use Realband every once in a while, these days I mostly I do everything I want in BIAB. For what I do, I could live without Realband.

I write songs and then arrange them. To this, my plan of attack is...

1. Write the song in BIAB.

2. Transfer audio tracks from BIAB to my DAW.

3. (This step I sometimes do. It's not necessary to use Realband here because I can also do what I want in BIAB.) Open the BIAB songfile in Realband and generate some additional tracks.

4. When all my audio is transferred to my DAW, I then mix the tracks in my DAW and add vocals, audio effects, etc.

5. I create a final, single (compiled) audio file using my DAW.

In a nutshell, I use BIAB to generate instrumental and rhythm audio files. I then take those files to a DAW and mix them down into a final, single audio file.

If you want to have a listen to some of my work and get an idea of how BIAB (Windows) sounds when I use it, go to...

The below link is to Janice and Bud Merritt's website. They are very productive with BIAB (Mac).

Lastly, Alan and Di at the below website, obtain finished products straight from BIAB (no DAW is involved in most of their work as I understand it).

Hopefully this helps.
