I'm happy you were willing to question and discuss the RT Medley feature and not summarily dismiss it. So to finish our discussion with a bit of flair - I've posted a link below to a song I recorded back in 2017 that all the instruments and backing vocals were totally done in BIAB using only BIAB tools, features and tracks.

I even returned to this song when vocal Ooh's and Aah's were introduced with the 2018 version of BIAB and again used the Medley mixer to add 4-6 additional vocal tracks to the dozen or so instruments used in the initial project.

You may remain unconvinced, but I can assure you and others it can be done and done so the finished product sounds full, dynamic, clearly mixed with frozen tracks, instrument effects added and not a single work around was ever used to harm this production. BIAB is the real deal and it will capably execute each and every task I've claimed it will.

You may be able to reconcile the lack of conviction you have about BIAB's ability to freeze an individual instrument on a Medley Track from hearing an audio example I'm posting here. It will prove the general implication the RT Medley feature is a more than a reasonable alternative to simply adding more full mixer tracks. Think of the RT Medley feature as a predecessor of the Utility Tracks rather than an alternative.

To freeze an individual instrument on a Medley Track, you must have another track with the same instrument on it in order to freeze that instrument because it also must be a physical copy of that audio snippet since BIAB will not reliably or quickly otherwise regenerate the exact audio one is trying to 'freeze'. Freezing and similar effects and techniques must be done using the BIAB Mixer in a grid layout instead of in a linear way.

Here's the song I mentioned above where all the instrumentation and vocal Ooh's and Aah's were done using the RT Medley and other BIAB tools and features.
