EV = Even count (as opposed to a swing feel).

yeah... that's what it means. Even groove. You don't really want to mix the swing and even tracks together. That usually ends up sounding bad when it comes to the groove in the song....

mivison:

The 85 in your example is the optimum tempo for the Style or for the RealTrack(s). It doesn't mean that it won't work with other tempos, but it would be best used in a song in that tempo range.

When Matt said "No" to your question, he was simply referring to the "Ev" part of your question. That indeed has nothing to do with tempo.

Good luck!

85 indicates the tempo of the original realtrack recordings in my understanding.
They work at tempos higher and lower than that, and it's up to the user to decide when they push that too much.

A good rule of thumb is if there are several tracks with the same or similar name, choose the one that is closest to the tempo of your song.

However, I have found that ones that are faster or slower will sometimes work better. It's a personal choice in a case like that.
