Using Acid Express, the free version, may produce better results as it is geared to "mess around" with wav files, if that is the right way to put it.


My recollection was that Acid Express wouldn't let you save the results as high quality files, but I could be wrong. It's got a very slick interface.

If you want to stick with RealBand, you could do everything there until you've got it the way you want, and then export the individual tracks that are below tempo at their "optimal" tempo, fiddle with them with another program, and then import them back into RealBand as .WAV tracks.

It's a bit clunky, but you wouldn't have to leave the PG Music universe except for the timestretching bit.

A nicer solution might be an option in BiaB/RealBand that used a slower (but more accurate) timestretch when working at tempos below the recorded tempo. Perhaps a dialog that popped up warning that the track was some percent slower than the recorded tempos, and that artifacts were likely without using the slower timestretch option. There could also be an option on the dialog to tell BiaB to do this automatically, or never do it, etc.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
