I was disappointed to see no further refinement of the audio loop capabilities added to BIAB/RealBand last year. The need to have all audio loops in a subdirectory within BB makes it very difficult to audition audio loops. With a large loop library (including many stored on CD and DVD) it is impractical to copy and store every loop with the program. A better solution would be to offer the option of a path similar to what is done when the RealTracks and RealDrums are stored separately from the program. Without this capability I still find it necessary to move my project to SONAR in order to easily audition and experiment with loops. I think this feature would improve the workflow of the more advanced users who go beyond selecting RealTracks and pressing "PLAY". Thanks.

Thank you for the informative post.

4sure ! and to have it automatically read the embedded loop info so you don't have to sit there for weeks on end
putting all the loop info in for every single loop. Most other DAWs read that info.
