I'm not going to tell you it sounds "natural". It depends on what you are going for. Yes, a strong 2 beat in a 4/4 measure cut to 3/4 would sound odd in many styles. But if you chose a Funk style (where the accent is always on 1) or many "country" styles, you can get some pleasing results.

However, I think most styles would handle a 2/4 measure very well...assuming you didn't have a lot of them stacked up.

The question was would Real Tracks handle it. The answer is "yes" at least in many cases. Set your "structure" and audition your styles and/or Real Track soloist and follow your ears.

I have no comment on technical issues. We're asking BIAB to do something that it wasn't really and primarily designed to do. The tracks (thank Goodness) don't appear to be absolutely strictly quantized, so stuff happens when you make it "stop". I hope it's good stuff, and in my limited experience so far, it has been.
