If I was Sir Paul McCartney and could write, ARRANGE, play and record every instrument...I'd probably still use BIAB. Because I am not him, and I don't have his money or experience.

Noel explained what Real Tracks do. I'll give you a few suggestions that may or may not apply to your work with it on any particular piece.

1. Make sure that the KEY you have entered is actually the key for the melody those chords support. In addition, make sure every chord entered is either a) a chord without notes that don't belong in the key or b) there for a particular musical reason. Chording instruments will (more or less) play your chord, but soloing instruments taking advantage of BIAB's intelligent arranging will have an easier time creating coherent lines. Lastly, use slash chords. They may not give every instrument a new voicing, but will "force" the band as a whole to deliver a different feel. C/g will sound different than simply C, at least in many styles.

2. Use the shots, rests, holds, pushes, and a more frequent chord entry (even if you have multiple bars playing the same chord. These will nudge BIAB to select a new chord-related riff in nearly all instruments and will probably give more variety and melodic structure.

3. Use the multi-riff functions in RB to widen your choices of riffs in solo, background, and chording instruments.

4. Edit in DAW...this may include (if the interval is not too big) pitch-shifting notes here and there.

That's all I can think of at present.
