re..REALBAND VS BIAB.

its not a question of one versus tother imho.
its useing the best of each imho.

(i guess i have to defend rb a tad…lol. even tho' i love reaper and was an early adopter at v 0.99 and with others used to bug the reaps dev with feature ideas.)

if one notices in my sig …the 3 music software i use ??
includes realband.
as ive said before rb has some nifty unique features IF ONE IS A SEEKER…..and if one…

1.. spends a decent time with rb to really delve into its plethora of features.its a massive feature list.
2.. really developes one own work methods with rb.

i know no daw on the market that has its set of features…which is why i'm sooo avid that just with a few added features it would sweep all contenders away.
and i dont want to see rb go away.

eg notice MCity's brilliant graphics in this thread of what could be with rb with just some extra dev work.

look at the great MCity graphics for bb and rb that is in the above thread/discussion. ie above my current post.

ive explained some of rb's features in the past and am too tired to repeat same over and over …lol.

all i would suggest is like i and various other pg users have found out…dont dismiss rb out of hand.

just 'dig'...theres nice rb nuggets in 'them thar hills'.
take some time with reading the plethora of features laid out in the rb manual and watch the vids on you tube etc.

just an idea. mix a bb song to bed ruff guide stereo... THEN import into rb the stereo guide mix and then go bonkers on testing//genning rd's//rt's//midi//vi's//loops
and so on.

its sorta like we used to do in commercial studios...give em' a rough song guide then use for overdubs real session musicians...cept in this case rb has its own session musicians... plus more traks than old 24 trak 2 inch tape machines.

WHATS NOT TO LIKE ABOUT THAT FOR FREE ??

(note i started on powertraks yonks ago which saved me a bundle over paying several 'undred bucks for each 2 inch tape reel. powertraks is another steal imho. for those just doing regular mtr stuff.)

happiness.
