Interesting thread.

It doesn't have to be an aversion to midi. Sometimes I find a specific sound on a RealTrack, that I cannot reproduce easily by using midi - in that case it is nice to know other workarounds.

On my track "In My House" I wanted a RT synth to keep playing the same chord over 4 bars, while the other instruments were playing 4 different chords over the 4 bars.

So I had to export the "other instruments" playing those 4 chords and then play it as a loop over the 4 bars, while the main synth only was playing one chord. Worked fine!

I know it would be easier with midi, but sometimes you just like a sound so much that you need to find other ways of doing things (in this case because you cannot use the piano roll with RealTracks).
