Hi Bob

Thanks for the great suggestions!

Unfortunately I am using a MAC (I post song suggestion type questions in Windows section as it has a lot more traffic and there isn't a 'Song Suggestions' section). so there is no Real Band. I didnt actually realise this to be honest. It seems a bit unfair but there it goes.

I may even buy myself a Windows laptop and transfer to the Windows version of BIAB etc. It seems to always be a number of steps/features ahead of the Mac version anyway.

Reading various posts here on the Forum it seems unlikely that the Mac version will ever be given equal footing to the Windows version, even though it is the same price! Having been a Mac user for many years I am used to such bias. Ho hum..

Thanks agin for the ideas. The idea of loops is very interesting. Something I wondered but have no idea how it might work.

For example, I am working on I heard it Through the Grapevine (CCR) and cant find anywhere a drum section that gets close to the 'jungle' style drums in the break section (where the main riff is played). It is such an important part of the song it really needs to be right. If I could find a loop that did the trick, or maybe even a midi file snippet, could I splice that in to the song somehow, whilst still keeping all the rest of the arrangement?

A bit of topic I know, maybe I should post a new question.

Cheers
Mark

If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all...
