.
First I write the song in BiaB. I start with an all-MIDI style. no RTs. I make sure the intro, verses chorus, ending etc are all the way I want. Then I go to Real Band to record vocals and add more instruments as RTs. Vocals usually get a little reverb and compression.
Lately I have not generated RTs in Real Band much. It does not seem to get the endings right. If I feel the need to add another instrument, I go back to BiaB to generate it, then port it over to RBand. I find if I render the RT to the desktop and then import from the desktop to RBand, I get fewer mistakes. Sounds like an extra step, but its really no trouble.
I usually lose track of which RTracks I finally decide on. I really should keep better notes.
I am finding that Real Drums port over from BiaB to RBand at very low levels. I generally have to add 6dB of gain to the Real Drums once they get over to RBand. Am I doing something wrong here?

I think part of your problem of RB and generating RTs is the manner in which you get the BIAB file into RB. If you're going to add RTs after the BIAB rendition is added, you must make sure that your BIAB style sheet is entered in RB. It's also important that the RB chord sheet entries are exactly the same as those in the BIAB Chord Sheet - ie holds, shots etc. And leave enough empty bars at the end to accommodate longer endings.
This is all done for you if you import into RB the "standard" way from BIAB. Maybe by putting the file to your desktop first is causing the loss of key elements which will effect adding additional RTs and having them "fit" with the other tracks.
Just a thought.
Enjoyed the production - the banjo adds a "lonesome wilderness" feel. Good one.

Exactly my point. I already know how to control verses, choruses and endings in BiaB. I make sure that the BiaB file is right, then get my RTs from there. Its really no trouble.

a big +1
Great song, vocal and mix.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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."
