I am surprised BiaB does this with Audio, due to the limitations of audio stretching software. Each RT has limits and the further you get from the original tempo the more artifacts you get from the material. Midi on the other hand can handle this type of manipulation.

2. Generate a Real track solo that doesn't sound phony meaning today it sounds like little blocks of solo parts and doesn't flow like a real soloist would do.

So far Multiriff has been hit and miss for me. I have had better results from the plugin than RB. Mostly because Studio one has an exceptional comping system.

3. When using different Time signatures in different parts of the song, the drum track or Real Track should be able to follow the meter map like going from 3/4 time to 4/4 or 2/4 time.

I would imagine this has to do with the fact RTs are audio and had been recorded in a certain time structure. Changing time signatures would be very difficult with prerecorded material.

4. Realband should be a 64 bit program like BIAB....I don't know anyone who doesn't have a 64 bit computer nowadays....processing time would be cut way down.

I think this will happen sooner or later since BiaB is now 64 bit.

5. The many styles should also be able to follow the Meter and Tempo map so you can use a style you like for any song. It's like being able to use a band or Style you like to play many different songs.

Again this maybe difficult for RTs and RDs, due to their physical make up

6. Separate BIAB and RealBand into two different programs and let the users decide which one they want to buy.

I agree in some form or the other


Let's start with that let other users add a wish list to make Realband the best Recording software on the market.

Oh I almost forgot....Audio Chord wizard sucks in Realband....I've never been able to use it in a real song I was working with without being totally frustrated and pissed off. I've tried using it and have given up every time. Even in BIAB it dosen't work with songs in different time signatures and tempos.

Agreed that it is ticklish but I have had some results




Great explanation thanks I hope others stop by to add their thoughts
