Let me ask it three different ways.

Is there a midi track underlying/ controlling each Real Track? So, once an arrangement is made and I'd like to export it to a DAW but not use the audio ... for what ever reason ... will there be a midi track duplicating the notes of the Real Track there to export with the rest of the midi tracks?

Are you saying I can simply use all the styles and other features of BIAB, forego the Real Tracks, just do midi tracks and export a midi file just as in BIAB?

Finally, with respect to midi, where would I find a discussion/ description/ comparison of the two programs only as far as midi functionality goes?

FWIW ... my working mode (anticipated anyway!) is to do a basic arrangement in BIAB (or, depending on the above answers, now RB?), then transport the midi file into Cubase and use my softsynths and hardsynths to create my audio.

First part, a qualified maybe, the Real Tracks are strictly prerecorded audio files, the midi is only for notation but some clever people here have talked about a way to isolate those midi notes to use as a standalone midi track. I haven't done that but I think it can work. Perhaps someone who knows about that can chime in here.

Second part, the discussion of differences is right here in the forums, just read both the Biab and RB forums, it will become clearer. Basically RB is a standard audio/midi DAW that PG has added most of the Biab functionality to so you can not only do basic DAW stuff like vocal/instrument live recording and midi recording plus mastering the final product but you also can create Biab tracks using different styles. You will find that adding even one Biab style track to some prerecorded tracks you may have already done can sound really good.

Third part, no need to export anything into Cubase, RB will do pretty much everything Cubase will. Of course we all have our comfort zones and if you're very familiar with how Cubase works, fine but again RB does the same stuff because it's a full fledged DAW just like Cubase is.
