Just really started using RealBand
It there some trick to allow tempo changes during playback using RealBand with Realtracks?
I noticed that setting a track to a RealDrum or RealTrack - it "Generates" it into audio.
It doesn't keep it in that quasi midi "Real" track thing that BIAB does.
If I want to change tempo's during playback it says I can't because the song has audio data.
I don't see any option to say keep realtracks like BIAB does?
And, and as far as I can tell, there's no way to say like only put midi tracks in RealBand, and have it control BAIB where I could put the realtracks - and thus be able to control the tempo during play back in RB?
There's no runtime interface between RB and BAIB that I could keep the two in sync?
thanks in advance,

Realtracks have never been midi or quasi midi at all, they are true audio. They are just somewhat akin to loops and are dice and slice and reconfigured to the tempo, bar, and chord settings.
Real track generation is the same in Bb or Rb, it is just that RB does not regenerate each time you hit play like BB does, it freezes the track until you tell it to regenerate.
To put all midi in Rb, simply do not make real tracks, just make midi tracks in BB. They are not the same. The only midi associated with a RTs is the one that generates notes for the real charts. Also you can have Rb generate midi as well you do not have to make RTs and RDs.
As far as tempo changes i will let someone else answer that one as i have not used that feature.

Hi Rob
Thanks for the response.
My whole issue is with tempo changes.
I'm pretty sure the answer is "No", if you put a real track in, you can't make tempo changes while RB is playing.
Thanks in advance.

No becasue Rts are audio, if you want to insert a tempo change you need to stop the playback and insert the change then regenerate the song all tracks included and then it should work. Remember that is you ask the Rt to tempo stretch to much it will sound bad.

I suppose that if you recorded track A at tempo A and saved it as a wav file, then recorded track B tempo B as a wav file then had 2 computers one with RB the other with Reaper or other audio player and could sync the start, it could be done. I've often wondered how the sync for 2 computers could or how well it could work.
Just an idle thought on a rainy Sunday afternoon, Wyndham

Too bad RB can't keep these "real" Real-tracks like BAIB does.
I was hoping to use and external midi sync, part of it would/could change the tempo.
And then too bad BAIB can't do external midi sync.

Raintalk, You are still missing the point here, Real Tracks are not midi, so midi sync has nothing to do with them. Of course they can't use it. They are audio, and if you want to control the songs with external midi sync and midi data you need to use MIDI tracks.
If you want Real Tracks to change tempo then just insert the tempo changes where you want and regenerate the tracks and see what happens. Remember that RTs only stretch so far before they start to degrade sound wise.

No Raintalk understands. In BIAB if you generate a song with all Real Tracks say at 120 BPM then hit play you can grab onto the spinner and speed up or slow down the song in real time with very good results. If Biab was able to SYNC to midi time code then an external device could be used to control tempo in Real time.A foot pedal for retarded endings or mild speed up during choruses. Real Band can do neither.

Since realband can sync as slave via midi clock - is it now
possible for realband to follow tempo changes?

In my experience, RealBand can slave to MIDI and will work if all the tracks in the .SEQ are MIDi tracks.
However, if there are any Audio tracks, it won't work with the Tempo changes sent, because the program cannot stretch Audio tracks like that "on the fly".

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."
