Let me preface this opinion with two things:
1) I think everybody here knows I love, respect, and use BIAB.
2) I don’t know what RealBand can do; I haven’t kept up with it.

In my opinion, people should not be recording live tracks in BIAB if they have a DAW and are decently skilled in using it. This could be one of those cases where the better tool for a job may be another digital audio program.

I’m perfectly willing to stand corrected if someone like Mario or Charlie etc. shows how to solve a problem, and there’s probably some workaround here. But one program can’t be best at all things. The count-in/metronome panning is but one. Others include non-integer tempos and control of ASIO buffers for recording.
