I could presumably also set the melody track to <silence> during the solos?


What is your melody? Is it a MIDI melody part that you have on the Melody track? Or is it just another RealTrack that you have on the Melody track? If it's just another RealTrack then yes you could use the same techniques.

Yes that's the Soloist dialog. I can see it being a bit confusing if this is the first time you've used the program. This is a much older dialog than the RealTracks Picker, and it pre-dates RealTracks. Originally it was only for generating a MIDI soloist on the Soloist track and it defines all the Soloists, connecting them to the available Soloists databases (.ST2 files). So some of the settings in this area only make sense if you're working with MIDI.
