What they said. I think what you're really asking is, "Are RealTracks recordings of actual instruments, and if so how do they differ from loops?"

And the answer is, yes, they are real recorded instruments, and they differ from loops in that (a) Band In A Box can adjust them to whatever chord you want in a given measure automatically, so that you only have to set the instrument and type in the chords, and (b) they provide some variation, so that on subsequent plays you don't always get the same loop in a given measure.

This makes it different from, say, Acid Pro, where you can transpose a whole song at once, or any given loop (or split section of a loop) at once, or transpose at a marker point, but you can't just easily change the chord structure, and you have to vary the loops manually (which I have done on a number of songs, and which is a Big Pain In The Tuchus).
