thanks guys, I appreciate your thoughts. I didn't think about real band at all. And were it just me, Reaper fills that void along with the Biab VST.
But I gotta bring my son along too, and that's a bit of a challenge --and he on a Mac, of course. I;m ot even sure if Mac 2020 (the latest) can record to Utility tracks.
Anyway, we'll try RB. thanks again!
