Marty and Linda -

Since it came out, RealBand (which is separate software) has been included with Band-in-a-Box and the new versions of both are released each year.

I hope you are gearing up to get BIAB 2017 (you mentioned 2016), as that has so much more with it, but either version can give a lot of joy.

You should be fine using Studio One as your primary DAW, even if you use BIAB and/or RealBand to generate tracks. You can easily move tracks between the apps.

BTW, although obviously no relation, one of my good friends from Virginia is named Marty and his wife is named Linda.
