Just to highlight one of the new features in RealBand 2025 - faster generation of RealTracks: During some testing today I compared song generations, and on the systems I tested, 2025 was up to twice as fast as previous versions. On the system I'm testing right now, _the JAZFRED demo song generates in about 10 seconds with 2025 vs. 17 seconds with 2024. That song has 4 RealTracks (bass, drums, piano, guitar) and is 102 bars (3 minutes). This is due to the way that RealBand 2025 uses multiple threads when generating multiple tracks and very long tracks. Results will vary depending on the machine specs - number cores etc.

Andrew it is generating very fast here. This was a good update. The speed was always a complaint from some folks. They said "why can't RB generate like BiaB?" First off it is not BiaB and operates like a typical DAW. That aside it is now fast enough to get stuff done and not slow down creativity when sliding over from BiaB Or starting fresh here. Big thanks here.

I still have a wait on mine compared to the same song in the Plugin.
I can't open this SGU-Demo-all-mixer-tracks-255-bars-Biab-frozen.zip in RealBand

Opening the file worked in RB when I tried it. Worked in Build 1 as well as Build 4 (currently in pre-release)

Thanks, build 4 worked. But the Plugin might need the same fix

That file worked here also.
Neat way to audition a bunch of different tracks!
But playing them all at once sounds as expected .. a muddy mess.
