I sometimes get the main song styles/tracks in BiaB, move to RB to flesh it out, and then to another DAW for finishing, although many times I just start in RB to begin with, since it has a more DAW like interface and most of the features. A few of us here work like that.

They are still 'BiaB' tracks, just created in a different environment. For me, the RB workflow was MUCH easier to learn and accept than BiaB, mainly due to preconceived workflows I was used to.

TBH, BiaB workflow still frustrates me at times, which is why, even when I use it, I move to RB pretty quickly.

This is really interesting. I've heard very little about RealBand (I mean very little and I never cracked it open). From what little I understood about it, it was some kind of DAW, as you said, but since I already use a separate DAW, I have been kind of ignoring it (until now anyway).

I had no idea that you can generate the BiaB tracks in RealBand. And also that it has a more intuitive interface for doing so. Can you do things like hold or push beats? It seems that when you said regeneration works in it that you can generate solos in it and seem to be implying that you prefer working in it in general. Are there things it can't do?

Does anyone else around here prefer working in RealBand?
