I LOVE Real Band, as I have stated many times.

Many, many, many times.

I would even say I am a super user in that I use it every day and do most of my track generation and even composing from/in it, like jamming on piano to real tracks (e.g, bass and drums) and remembering to always have midi record on. Then, if I hit a cool riff or chord progression, I will let the chord analyzer tell me what I just did, and most of the time I can later cut and paste some of what I recorded in that midi into the final piece. Priceless.

Also, I do ALL all of my recording in it. I just haven't used it for mixing much, because I didn't know how and it was too easy to just move to Cakewalk. But this year, I wanted to figure it out, so I did start digging.

BUT, I want to be able to use it better, and for more things, since there has been a major upgrade, and the manual does not make it easy to figure out the fundamentals.

If you are are directed to this forum to get answers from users, then that is what you will do. I was directed here, to get forum members to explain.

So I did, and they did.

That is the way it works.

Now I get it.

All I really need is what Rob and Bob just said.

So, I am good.

But it was not in manual.

It was here.

I will suggest that the next manual has a two page intro to setting up a board that a two-year-old could understand, which is now in this thread.

By the way, I am the guy who asked for the 256 tracks last year as part of many conversational threads I had with the developers. My argument? I live in Real Band some days and when you are recording 30 vocal takes, 5 guitar parts and 20 takes on some guitar leads, you run out of 48 tracks fast. Real Band is my workhorse, I said. I need more tracks please. Now thanks to PG, who listened, you have them. Personally, I feel locked and loaded now.

So yeah, I know a few things about Real Band.

You're welcome.
