Well the fermata thing must be screwing things up. What I did for that:

In the fermata measure I placed a hold and I decreased tempo by -15%.

In the immediate next measure I put the tempo back by 15%.

The result is a lot of inappropriate real track playing.

So, your way worked good as long as I eliminated the fermata. Is there a better way to do the fermata or is that pretty much a lost cause with Real Tracks?

Thanks again.
