Not really.

I tested on the demo songs before I posted this thread, and they were pretty bad.

No tracks were frozen, and the soloist RT was "spliced and glued" by BiaB, generating a randomized result each time.

The solo in the demo song has no better consistency than using my own chord progression.

I suggest you go to the RealTrack picker, select the RT #3198, then preview the track. There are two preview mode: Band and Solo.

The Solo preview is a part of the original recording without BiaB's manipulation. The Band preview is the same solo plus the backing of the original chord progression Brent Mason played on.

You will find the RealTrack previews are ten times better than the RealTrack itself.

If there is a Chord Chart populated with chords, BIAB does not "generate a randomized result each time." The BIAB algorithm reads ahead the user information input onto the Chord Chart and searches and selects specific audio snippets from the appropriate RealTrack folder and file.

Demos may have programming elements input to the algorithm that produce more complexity and consistency than what's produced by only entering a chord progression.

I did select and preview the RT#3198, both band and solo. I also analyzed the chord progression, key signature and created a tempo map of the Band wma file. The solo seems be a part of the original recording that is isolated from the original band recording. The demo was likely recorded using a multi track device or DAW.

I don't think the RealTrack demo to be a complete performance recording but is in reality, a BIAB generation. There are several reasons why I think this.

a) It's illogical for this 16 bar recording to be a performace for a RealTrack because PG Music would likely include that information. All PG Music marketing and every demo, lessons and songs, or tutorials either clearly state a track as a Performance or otherwise state the demo/song/lesson/tutorial is a BIAB generation.

b) A 16 bar song could be made with two 8 bar phrases with a single splice.

c) BIAB's algorithim accesses many tools and features that activates various actions to make track generations more complex, seamless and consistent than simply entering chords and hitting play.

d) Some of these tools and features are MultiStyles, RT#1152-Silence, The RealTrack Medley Maker, Using multiple RT's by a single artist playing the same instrument with the same settings.

e)By reading ahead, the algorithm can select specific phrases recorded and saved in the wma files in the RealTracks folders for intros, outros, and also know to create fade-in, fade-out, and crossfade as pre-generation actions rather than post generation selections manually set by users using Bar Settings. The difference between the audio material selections insure smooth transitions. Reading ahead, the same logic applies with MutliStyles and the Chord Chart for changes to styles, instruments, key signatures, tempo.

There is no indication RT#3198 solo and band demos are performance files rather than a normal demo file created the same as every other demo.

Note the screen shot from a YouTube BiAB RealTracks Demo that all the demo songs are generated RealTracks, not Performances.

Note the Soloist Lesson by Brent Mason indicates his Solo Track is an Artist Performance Track.
