As for Biab, I agree with the suggestion you should be using Real Band. Before I start talking about what you can do with it, there are always a few folks who complain about crashes and they never get into details so they just leave that complaint out there making it look like RB has serious problems. Not true at all. When someone actually explains what they're doing and lets us work it out for them it always turns out to be something with their system or configurations. RB is pretty stable. I would suggest you try RB again and if you start having it crashing note exactly what you were trying to do, what you did and how you did it and start a new topic in the RB forum. Tell us about your system, how it's set up, what you're using for sound, is it all audio, any midi, all that kind of thing. And watch all the RB videos too.

Your music is very good and interesting, you don't need to be this frustrated we can help you.

Thanks for your answer Bob.

I'm glad you like my tracks. Indeed I composed the music, performed the guitars, programmed the MIDI tracks, recorded my female vocalist and sound-engineered the tracks myself. The newest versions are slightly improved (smoother bass, more transparency etc.) I purchased BIAB in order to speed up my workflow and most of all to make everything sound more organic. I know BIAB has great stuff for practicing and learning. But for the experienced ones, who know exactly what they want, who spent weeks working on a track and flipped around 100 times every single note, engaging someone who’s playing false chords or notes it's just not fair. Maybe in this case, or till it's fixed in the next version, I'd say: "Warning: this RealTrack doesn't support every chord you typed. You may listen other harmonies after rendering. Proceed?" OK, that would be a matter of choice.

By the way, I like BAIB. I still export and use some RealTracks. And MIDI tracks as well, they are not flat, they have been performed by someone and that sounds pretty organic, on keys for instance.

If you are a member of PG Music staff I’d be glad to send you in detail what I did with RealBand and when it crashed. As well as some other issues I consider absolutely essential (respectively no go).

Thank you
