Ah, thanks for that!

I was under the impression that RealBand was a more advanced way of working with RealTracks rather than a fully-fledged DAW in its own right, but I see I was mistaken!

I'd love to be able to get great sounds and samples for free. I have done lots of searching for soundfonts but the best I've found haven't come close to some of the paid-for sounds, particularly when it comes to wind instruments.

I'll give RealBand a go and see how I get on with it, but in the meantime I'd still definitely appreciate advice on sounds smile

(that's not to say I wouldn't also appreciate further advice on DAWs if anyone else wants to chip in)
