RB >> BB is limited to 255 bars and the tracks would have to import as wav as RealBand don't have non destructive editing like Biab now has. Been there done that: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=267164I was speaking to a Music producer in Nashville an I mentioned BIAB, he replied "Myself, I find the user interface to BIAB one of the most confounding, and downright biggest UI messes ever, but that's just me. But... that is a great program in terms of what it can do and those real tracks they use now, sound more realistic than anything anyone has going. It really is fantastic." (he also has friends who have recorded for PG)
Well I don't think he is the only one, this is something we hear most often. I mentioned Realband as how many even know of it's existence ?
I think PG needs to vastly improve and promote RB as a decent DAW that can generate Real Tracks that can be used in this Industry and get away from the Auto Accompaniment of BIAB. It is great to use even 1 or 2 RTs in a session.
PG you need to remove all reminiscent of DOS and make it more solid and reliable so it can compete on the world stage with the other sleek DAWs, what other DAWs can do what RB can do ? not even Cubase Chord Track !
Most in this Industry use DAWs, it would be a no brainer to move to RB.
PG I know you will see the picture and get there eventually, but it just takes soooo long.
Thanks.

BIAB drag n drop, drag n drop, drag n drop. . . . to main DAW, oh that don't fit will generate, drag n drop again. . You can't really record in RB, it needs multitrack record arm for each track for selected input, and draw the wav while recording. It needs more Node modes so you can still mix while parts are muted. Yes going to 64 bit will help and yes more RT RD, if they just have DI guitars that will save a lot of space. They will get there eventually as I said, but yea it takes soooo loooong.
https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=264355How many folks even know there is "RealBand" Everywhere over the net all you see and hear is "Band in a Box" that development priority goes in to. Updates: Now RB has still a lot of Bugs. RealbandRealBand 2014 Build 7 (Feb 27-2014) Band in a BoxBiab 2014 Build 381 (March 10, 2014) Biab 2014 Build 383 (July 15, 2014) Biab 2014 Build 384 (July 18, 2014) Biab 2014 Build 385 (Sept 25, 2014) Maybe the guys in their lunch break can have a play with some of the Bugs ? REAPER" Refugees Welcome If you currently use another DAW, you might be reading this because you're contemplating shelling out $150 for the next overhyped version that doesn't address any of the bugs you've been complaining about for five years while adding a bunch of features you couldn't care less about... Updates: ..... ..... https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=258828Realper It is a shame that PG can't see how ahead Realband could be over other DAWs if they had better programing on the "junior school" GUI, imagine having an interface like Reaper but being able to generate up realtracks/drums and midi ! PG you need to put more development priority into Realband then we can do everything in the same program, start to finish. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=247201At the end of the day you are pretty limited to what you can do with Stereo RealDrums, there should be option to generate intros, different endings and fills etc.. there is no button to "Cut Loose" and generate a great drum solo and not be restricted as if playing in a church. I think soon you will see Super RealDrums that will be Multichannel, do all of this and have a lot more variation to choose from. They will still of course have Stereo RealDrums for those who don't need or want to venture any further, just as you still have a choice of Midi Drums over RealDrums. With just this you are limited, don't get me wrong they are great but not the end of the story. If they had multichannel flac ogg wma that would be great because those how just want stereo drums can leave them as they are and those who want more control can split them to multitrack as you can do in Audacity Cubase Reaper etc.. 8_channel_Drums_stems_8channel.wma 8_channel_Drums_stems_8channel.ogg 8_channel_Drums_stems_8channel.flac8chDrumsWMA.zip8chDrumsOGG.zip8chDrumsFLAC.zipI was just watching "History of The Eagles" Glenn was saying when they recorded in England with Glyn Johns they had no control over the recording or producing. In the States they found Bill Szymczyk and the first thing they asked him was "do you mind if we put a mic on each drum so we have more control over the mix" Bill replied "sure no problem" https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=256886
