2bSolo, your computer looks more than adequate for BIAB, as you say. If you want to be sure, you could download and run the free Geekbench 4 and report your single-core speed here. I'm guessing you will get 3500 or so, and anything above around 2000 is fine (my numbers - not official standards).

For others, I am the one who suggested 2bSolo post his question here, in the Off-topic Forum. We have often had great discussions about non-PG Music software here, including what DAW to use. His question was Mixcraft vs. Reaper. Not RealBand.

I apologize to you, 2bSolo, for all the angst some posters added to this topic and for getting you into this situation. You did nothing to cause it.
