Yep, I had tried doing that, no difference

Yes, I can do the recording thing, done that before using Cakewalk. Problem is of course that it is in realtime, and if you have a lot of midi tracks that can take a long time indeed! I prefer to have separate audio tracks because I like to use adobe audition for audio mixing and also to record my guitar parts.

Looks to me like it is a bug with the way realband deals with bandstand because as I say the same function works great within BIAB.

I'll try and contact support about it. Thanks for the help guys
