Thanks Rob and Moultipass.

Moultipass, you have nailed it.

Yes, I LOVE and ADORE RealBand but I want to UNDERSTAND the routing and be able to USE IT now that is is SO MUCH IMPROVED.

But, I cannot "go to the end" as Moultipass eloquently puts it, without a PROPER INSTRUCTION MANUAL. I don't want to "give up" again.

See this screen shot of Sonar/Cakewalk below (I have both programs but still use Artist a lot, don't ask why.)

It is all here. A child could do it.

All I want is a few simple pages with CLEAR and simple explanations of how to replicate this kind of workflow in RealBand--and have it stick. Please make it so that you easily add as many individual soft synth tracks as you want and have them re-appear when you re-open EXACTLY the way they were when you saved the file. And not have them "competing for space"--where you insert a synth in an open space and it starts using the sounds from another synth instance for some oddball reason and you have to open and re-select synths five times before it gets it straight. Please. Please, please, please.

This screenshot shows 95% of what happens in a mix. How hard can it be to explain the routing steps in plain English to replicate something like this in RealBand???

The program is great, but the manual?

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
