I'm dipping my toe back into the RealBand water. Does RealBand have the same Audio Chord Wizard that BIAB has? What about Drum Stems? How does RealBand handle them? How does RealBand handle MicroChords and MultiRiffs? Can I enter them in RealBand, or do I have to start them in BIAB and import them?

Audio Chord Wizard; no they are not exactly the same .. ACW started in RB (if I recall correctly), got ported to BiaB, and from there they have been updated at different times. So basically the same, but not exactly. The BiaB version progressed to work better in BiaB and vice versa. For example, in RB Tempos can be in the thousandths of beats per minute, like a bar of 128.484825 BPM.
Mulitiriffs; RB just lays them all out on the next available tracks. I like how RB handles this, makes it easy to comp a track from the multiple tracks generated.
TBH, I haven't used this feature much in BiaB but have read/heard good things.
Drum Stems and MicroChords .. wish I could help. Let us know what you find.
I got a bit frustrated with Drum Stems in both programs, due to my workflow/options (no real need).
Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Funk.
i'm gonna keep this brief as every time i laud the unique virtues of rb i get some heat from some quarters.
really the only way to see if rb is for you is to go to the various pg vids here and the user manual.
i would suggest you focus in particularly on …the following which i find very useful.
1..the LOOONNG menu with its many unique trak generation features..and
2..the bars window where there are lots of editing triks to be discovered viz not just within a trak but across traks.
fyi i once used some very expensive daw software in a studio..which didnt have the unique features of rb.
imho rb is one of the best deals around considering its free with biab. just be patient in developing your own work methods with it. it may be not as 'pretty' as other daw software , but underneath are lots of powerful features.
finally as to microchotds , ive found i have to do this in biab and then genn the audio traks in bb and import the audio into rb.
one cant do mc's in the rb chord sheet ive found.
(someone can correct me on this point).
ps also when you boot rb carefully go thru the 'tips of the day'.
let me say (contrary to what some might think) i'm not biased re rb. i just think it offers many features i havent seen in any other daw software .(includeing reaper that i also love).
happiness.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

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."
