'You have to take the band "out of the box" to do that though' was what gave rise to my post.

i personally find RB easier to use for a lot of things than sticking in BIAB.
Charlie you were one of the experts i referred to who can do amazing things in BIAB.

i know i'm not the only one that thinks it's a shame that a lot of people don't use RB. One thing i like is that in tracks view you can see the wave form for every part without opening a new window - and all laid out in linear order following the bar structure of the whole song.

the benefit of the RB solution just might be that the OP might find RB useful and taking a look might be a good idea. and as Audiotrack's suggestion was about thinking outside of the box, i was suggesting that RB is not too far out.
