Can't believe I am back, but this program has had a big impact on my music. A little of this app appears in everything I do. It is now back on sale for the low price of $49. It reminds me a lot of BIAB in the way you can never really master the total content of what this program can do. It literally can hurt my head (in a good way ) thinking about what it is doing. Every use is a discovery. But if you have followed this thread, you already know that...
Riddle me this Batman, where were these genius insightful "Carnac the Great" like developers 30 years ago? OK fair is fair, how about even 10 years ago?

Well someone has to do it, so it might has well be me. We all have our roles to play and apparently mine is to keep everyone up to date on Scaler.

Sorry for Delay Jeff, I never saw this question till now
So I don't use RealBand so I can't give you a quick answer. Ir does work well in a standalone mode or with Reaper. If you need this info, get back to me and I will check it out for you.
Ya, I have appointed myself the forum notification board for Scaler 2. While the first track in my DAW template is reserved for BIAB-VST, the second track is reserved for Scaler 2.

I could have put this video in a number of places, but I chose here. I have always realized the significant overlap between BIAB and Scaler but this video is the best I have seen of someone attempting to build a song, ala BIAB, using Scaler. In reality a workflow which combines both BIAB and Scaler takes advantage of the best of both.
