RealTracks can be monophonic or stereophonic. The RealTracks Picker has a column that displays a "M" for mono RealTracks and "S" for stereo RealTracks. You can select the column name and RealTracks will be sorted into "M" and "S" groups.

Generally speaking RealTracks for acoustic instruments such as wind or brass instruments, banjo, guitar or bass are monophonic recordings. Electric instruments or acoustic piano can be mono or stereo depending on how the instrument adds to the song. For example a piano maybe recorded in stereo to separate the playing of the left hand from the right hand or in mono to place it more into the background.

Band-in-a-Box does not automatically substitue RealTracks based on mono or stereo tracks.

May I ask why you want to replace your User track with a RealTrack?
