Guys,

All I am saying is that I LIKE Real Band for generating EXTRA tracks beyond the basic 8 and it is an awesome tool for doing that.

No, I would never compare Sonar to Real Band, of course not-- and I am an expert user of both.

Real Band generates tracks and Sonar does not. Yeah, they're different all right.

Also, I record guitar all day and all night and I prefer to record into Real Band because TO ME it is easier to edit audio in Real Band. Much simpler. In Real Band it is fairly easy to edit audio down to the nanosecond, whereas Sonar is a pain in the a....for really tight edits. To me anyway.

BUT, I mix in Sonar all day long too. They are different tools for different uses.

I guess I am still so mesmerized with what Real Band CAN DO that I don't have much energy left over to worry about what it CAN'T do. I have a stack of songs on deck a mile high that I will finish using those Real Band tracks.

I just assume the geniuses who created this software that so many of us get so much mileage out of every single day are working that into their Agile workflow.

In my opinion they have done a pretty good job so far.

YMMMV....
