Hi Ian,

To add to what Pipeline has already said...

Those extra tracks occur because Realband is generating the notation for the Realtracks. This notation is a MIDI file. In BIAB, such notation is not seen unless one goes into the Notation or Leadsheet windows.

Because of the nature of Realband, though, the notation is created as a separate MIDI track.

To disable it, head into to Options and follow the below image...

Personally, I like that the MIDI version of a RT is easily available because I've used it a number of times. For example, if I want a bass line to follow a particular pattern at a certain point, I create that pattern with the MIDI bass that's derived from RT notation. I then either use the MIDI with a good softsynth bass or create a wav from the MIDI and copy/paste the created section into the RT's track. Provided I have a softsynth whose timbre is similar to the Realtrack's, copy/paste works fine. (Bass doesn't have to be an exact timbre match for it to sound ok.)

The song below is a recent one I've assembled using a bass line that was created from a Realtrack's MIDI notation. I modified that bass line to suit what I wanted and then ran it through Garritan's Jazz And Big Band 3 (sold by PG Music). I also used a Realtrack's MIDI notation for the Piano.


Regards,
Noel
