First off i understand using what is comfortable. But Real Band IS powertracks, they look and function the same. The only difference is that RB does not have the TC helicon plug. Unless you have the newest version and PTPA version 12. Sure RB has the real tracks stuff, but you do not have to use it. it handles midi and audio exactly like PTPA. Plus one has the option of adding a RT or RD to the package. Adding real drums is slick, and you can do this from BiaB and RB will open the BiaB file. Also RB is not a real large file so you will not gain much to remove it.
