I see you haven't been reading mine or Silvertones posts Wyndham but it's good you found this feature. This is the "killer app" part of RB and what makes it head and shoulders above any other DAW. When people say that RB is a hybrid of Power Tracks and Biab, this is what they're talking about. To me it's no big deal that RB can simply open a Biab file, the really big deal is the fact that you can create multiple parts on different tracks using however many different styles you want and you can do it with either the Biab midi parts or with Real Tracks and Real Drums. Not only on different tracks either, you can swipe a part of any one track and only generate that portion of the track so you can put several different styles on the same track. When you combine this with using some tracks from a good midi file plus any live audio recording you do makes RB unique in the DAW world.
This feature Gary, is why I always question why someone cares about D & D to another DAW like Sonar. Sure, they have different workflows that you may be used to but RB really does have all the same functions and you can work just as fast once you get used to it with the one glaring exception of the VSTi tempo lock problem. One example is using volume envelopes. It's true it's not as elegant as some DAW's but RB does have that feature. Some people think that RB has problems with many different VST's but to me that's not true. I have a bunch of different plugins and they all work fine except for this one thing. Even the point about some VSTi's like SampleTank not responding to the volume slider is no big deal to me because I render my tracks to audio as soon as I'm happy with them anyway.

Bob,

Its true that realband has some great features, by the way Wyndham thanks for showing that one to me, but so far I mainly use realband to generate all the realtracks I need and then I use it to export all the midi styles and realtracks to separate audio files which I then work on in cubase.

Why cubase since realband can do the same thing?
I find that realband has hard to use routines when trying to build up a master track from a number of sub tracks.

In cubase I just use the scissors tool to split a track and then I can mute with the mute tool which is X in cubase to silence that section.
Don't know if that is possible in realband Probably is but takes a lot longer to do?

The mixer in cubase is great as well, with mute, solo read and write and other tools on each channel.
