I appreciate the New Features tutorials, but is there a starting point for learning how to record songs in RealBand. Somebody coming into this new, won't immediately go to New Features because 'new' doesn't really apply to someone who still hasn't dealt with 'old.' I am willing to put in the time learning, but I have spent too much time looking for the original tutorial to start with so I can graduate to the New Features tutorials. Thanks.

I have read the PDF documentation and it does not satisfy my questions. The documentation assumes the user is familiar with recording terms. I can guess what 'sub-groups' means, or 'rendering' but good documentation would make sure I don't make assumptions, especially wrong ones. Bad habits result.
My guess is that someone like me who wants to learn mixing properly needs to take a course to become familiar with termonology. Am I right?
I appreciate the volunteer nature of the forms but 'sound bite' answers to a real neophyte like me are not always useful which results in follow-up, after follow-up question, which is inefficient for everyone.
So, is there a course/source where I can learn how to record well, mix best and cut a decent final product (is it a master, or a render, or what?).

Hey PW, I understand your frustrations, it's quite a learning curve for the newbie.
There's some tutorials that were made by Ray Thigpen (who has since passed away) but their still on the forum somewhere...can't remember who it is that has them available so you'll have to ask around, or maybe someone else can chime in and tell you who it is.
There a little dated but still have a lot of good information to get you started. I used them when I first started and there done very well, I highly suggest you give them a try.

...stick with it, ask a lot of questions and have patience and perseverance. You won't find the answers in a single manual, but you will find them is lots of manuals....

Thanks for jumping in MS, I should have remembered that it was John that has them available..... Must be the thin air up here in central Florida...it affects the memory...or maybe it's just my age.....

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
