I presume I could do this kind of midi editing with Ableton Live? I mean, I don't own any other "sequencer"... or could I do that in Realband? Is Ableton overkill for this, should I consider getting a simpler midi editor or sequencer program? Excuse my newbishness.

I am using BIAB (now 2010) for songwriting, (musical theatre) I generally save to .wav my BIAB backing tracks... I'd love to be able to customize them more... altough I must admit I've probably only scratched the surface of what I can do in BIAB. I've just created my first hybrid style, and that works a treat, it seems a great way to have a broad stylistic variation within a song while keeping some elements the same and thus feeling like they belong in the same song.

Once I'm done in BIAB, I then export as .wav into Audacity and record my vocals there then export the vocal .wavs (frequently multiple tracks with harmonies etc) into Melodyne where I pitch correct and do a final mix adding reverb and panning etc.

Any suggestions welcome, I'm just experimenting with my process.
Thanks,

Real Band will do all of this and a lot more. I just posted a few detailed examples of what you can do with it in another thread, just search my username.
