when you install the RealTracks 001 to 429 on your computer, you own all of them, and can use them however you want.
When used within a song I would say that is correct. However, if you were to use them in another way, for example isolate the raw tracks of a RealTrack to use as a source to create samples for use in a third party product I would say no. For such a use I recommend consulting with an attorney and having the attorney review PG Music's License agreement (page 2 in both the Band-in-a-Box and RealBand user manual) before proceeding.

Meaning, for any backing/solo/melody source material, you can put it on any style track or utility track, you can generate the sound regardless of what method you use.
I agree you can generate a sound.
Quote:
if you put a Soloist RealTrack on a utility track, it should give you the same result, no matter if you use Partial Regen, MultiRiffs, or Soloist method to generate.
Disagree for multiple reasons. The Melody and Soloist tracks follow different rules and are less constrained than other tracks. At this moment, Utility tracks follow different rules than other tracks. A good example of the type of rules and constraints that maybe available on the Melody or Soloist tracks is the UserTracks Development window. The UserTracks Development window can be accessed by pressing F5 at any bar and then selecting the UserTracks Development button at the left, bottom side of the F5 Bar Settings window. My thought is each feature has the same pool of material to draw from but each draws from different parts of the pool so each will obtain different results. Which track you're using can somewhat influence what pool of materials is used.
Quote:
The final results are RT based, not method based.
I agree somewhat. When you select a RealTrack you are partially defining the size of the pool of material you want to use. However the method may also define how large the pool of material is to draw from. For example lets say you select one of the twelve Cory Pesaturo Accordion RealTracks. Chances are all twelve were recorded at the same time, in the same studio while using the same instrument so all twelve RealTracks should sound extremely similar. It is possible all twelve RealTracks can be used as source material. The method could include all or some of the RealTracks.
Quote:
This is what I believe: When you use Partial Regen or MultiRiffs, you can access to all RT source material, including Soloist and Melodist RTs and MIDIs.
It's possible but it is also possible there are constraints that say "only use these bars in a solo" or "only use these bars in a melody". The only published guide we users have is the UserTracks Development window. I believe there are more rules and constraints in place than we have know of.
