Thanks

I don't think it will work. I've seen other threads with various control surfaces that would not work because BIAB doesn't support Mackie Control. The Zoom R16 is another control unit that comes to mind that generated some interest.
There may be some limited features that can be controlled by midi but I'm not sure if that is supported or not either.

Yes, I am thinking you are right. I am looking at changing DAW's just because RealBand does not play nice with so many other products.

Joesarahh, you might want to consider a Cakewalk Sonar DAW, They start at $99 and you get a lot for that amount. I use Sonar Platinum and it is rock solid and works with a ton of software, even time based plug-ins and VSTis. All three versions of Sonar have the same engine with the differences being what add-ons you get. Good luck with your search. PS - you can drop and drag directly from BiaB to Sonar. This works the best if BiaB is using MME drivers and Sonar uses ASIO drivers. {edit} - link to Sonar: http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Versions

cakewalk in one of the options I am looking at, but my current front runner is Presonus's Studio one Producer version. It's $200 but I think it brings some advantages to the table. It's one of the newest high end DAWs and that means the architecture is different from the long time standbys like ProTools and Cakewalk. The newer base architecture seems to mean it can do what the standbys can do, but it can do it smoother. At least that is what it looks like to me. I don't know, I will have to wait and see what I do. Unfortunately I have come to know RealBand inside and out so I just HATE to switch. Yet, as I do this full time now I am really getting tired of compatibility issues with all the other software and equipment I use.

Try a free test drive with Reaper before you decide.  Josie

There are many DAWs and everyone has their favorite. The PreSonus website indicates the FaderPort works well with their Studio One DAW. ++ This Page ++ gives a list of all the DAWs FaderPort has been tested against. If your thinking of trying another DAW, ++ This ++ Wikipedia page provides a comparison between most of them.

After Cubase, I switched to Reaper. Easiest DAW I've ever worked with.

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."
