In Biab, if you change a style or the part markers and regenerate, everything changes unless you've frozen some tracks. Freezing tracks is ok but why not just start in RB where, as the project evolves, you're probably going to wind up anyway?


I tried doing that in the beginning- working up my full project in just RB. Why I didn't continue to do that was because it takes longer to generate multiple tracks in RB- at least for me anyway. I don't use repeats or anything. My chart is top to bottom and can get up to 200 bars or more. So trying to generate [and heaven forbid, regenerate multiple times] rhythm section in RB just took a whole bunch of time. Not so in Biab. Those same number of tracks generates and regenerates much faster in there. So I start in biab to get the rhythm section completely done and then open that project in RB to add everthing else. I think if you're into detailed song production you need RB along with biab. If for nothing else, in RB you're able to expand the track count to include most any real tracks you'll need. And when I get all those tracks done to my liking in RB, then I dump out to another daw for editing and mixing. That's a personal choice. I see real band not as a choice, but a necessary component for creating your work with PG software. Both biab and RB are needed for larger, more complex productions.
