Thanks for posting John. I was in a rush the first time I read Rharv's post and I couldn't absorb it. The next day I read your post after a nap with nothing on my rush list :-) So I went back and reread his post. This time it sunk in. Yeah I think I might have reason to use it since we are now shooting for jams every 2 weeks and bit by bit I am starting to get more interested in trying new things in real band.

I think I might like to live record a better track and maybe go back and fix up some things. I gather syncing up the metronome with the recording we did is what ACW means. Actually I just used this google search "what does pgmusic realband acw mean" to find out ACW means "Audio Chord Wizard". So maybe not. I gather syncing the metronome to the existing music our group live recorded might be useful for going back and re-recording parts of my fix. For example re-recording my improvised solo and leaving my melody-1 and melody-2 in place. I don't have time at the moment but I found this YouTube search string "pgmusic RealBand: Getting Started" might have the overdubbing features I am interested in. I will have to watch these some time. With me as always it is a matter of trying scramble against a to-do list and trying to fit new learning in.

Something for PGmusic to think about:
It is too bad the string searches within realband and band in a box were not as good as google and youtube. I did a search for overdub and overdugging in google and found the proper answers (based upon my recording experience in my 20s). I did it in realband and I get a no find with both of these very well known key words. I did these searches in youtube "pgmusic realband overdub" and "pgmusic realband overdubbing" then went into the notes on the videos to try and find these keywords to decide which one to watch. The keywords seem to be none existent even though they are well known terms in recording. I would be interested in knowing what terms the people who use RealBand use replace the meaning for overdubbing we find in google which I copied below.


Quote:
Overdubbing (the process of making an overdub, or overdubs) is a technique used in audio recording, whereby a musical passage is recorded two or more times. ... Today, overdubbing can be accomplished even on basic recording equipment, or a typical PC equipped with a sound card, using digital audio workstation software.


So I tried the google string search "pgmusic realband overdub" and found this link.
https://www.pgmusic.com/manuals/rb2018full/chapter6.htm
It is loaded with the term "overdub". So the fact that I found this page is the manual with Google yet the RealBand software search gives me a no find is the issue here. I just noticed this page is midi. Not sure if I am interested in midi related overdubs at this point. Maybe it is not the page I want.
