The lack of matching soloist means that there is going to be a HOLE in every song that does not have a soloist for each instrument used to create that Real Style. The other way of looking at it is . . . Any Real Style isn't usable in a Studio Environment unless there is a matching soloist available or the particular song does not have a solo break. A solo break in a song happens more often than not.



Absolutely true and a very good point. You should contact forum member Harvey Gerst. He uses Biab a lot in his studio for exactly what you're doing and he's posted some examples over the years. He's the definition of an old pro master, if you don't recognize his name, just Google it.

You mentioned Real Band. Yes, RB can help here because it's a hybrid of Power Tracks Pro Audio and Biab. Without going into a whole blurb here, you have 48 tracks to work with, you can work with all the same Real Tracks/Drums that Biab does and for a solo track, you can create several different versions one track one at a time using different styles, changing the part markers to mix things up and then cut and paste from those different tracks to create one good solo part. You can do the same with every instrument. Plus, it's still a good Daw with all the midi/audio recording functions you would expect with plugins, mastering, 16 midi output ports etc. I'm sure you already have a lot of that covered but using RB to stitch together parts of different Biab generated tracks both midi and RT's, is something I do all the time.
