The Utility Picker is a work in progress and there's no argument PG Staff is on it and adjusting to how even users who maybe were unaware of it's existence and users that had trouble with how it's used or didn't use the feature. Anybody that knows how to open a RealTrack in the BIAB Mixer will know how to use the RealTrack Medley tool so there's no issue with the design nor implementation of using it.

The Medley feature has been around for many years and was enhanced and upgraded both in 2019 and 2020 versions. The Medley window tracks are as 'real' as the BIAB Mixer tracks or any RealBand tracks and even any DAW tracks. The Medley feature was prominently mentioned in the yearly New Features videos both years - and I agree somewhat that designers have to be acquainted with the wants and needs to how users implement new features, nothing can be done beyond what PG staff has done to make users aware of the Medley Feature.

It should not be long before an better and enhanced Utility Picker is introduced and I wouldn't be surprised to see improvements made to the Main RealTrack Picker.

<< P.S. Charlie, very nice track btw. >>
Thank you. It's the track where I first introduced my experience and use of the Medley feature and completed a song with more than 8 tracks and a fairly complex arrangement and although mentioned that in my Forum post in the Users Showcase, it only had one poster comment on the fact. Mind you, that song was done early in 2017 long before the 2019/20 upgrades and enhancements.
