Eddie, at the risk of getting you going... I am surprised that despite your acknowledgement of the instability associated with Real Band, you continue to use it for making your music. I feel safe to say that many of us knew about these issues long ago and moved on to more stable DAWs. And yes, BIAB is more stable for generating tracks. So the typical workflow many have adapted for years is BIAB-DAW. All the heavy lifting is done in the DAW which has the horsepower and features and functions to get the job done without all the drama and frustration.

That's all I have to say on the matter... grin
