Kent,

That makes sense. I *was* trying to use Realband as a BIAB replacement. I was mainly wanting it for different vst synths for different instruments.

When it comes time to record, I now typically move the midi tracks to Sonar and use some pretty high-powered vst synths, such as Spectrasonics Trillian for acoustic bass. And Omnisphere for pads and strings.

Thanks for the replies everybody.
