A Biab style controls what instruments are used so if you change styles and regenerate, you could hear all new instruments or maybe one or two depending on the style. If you are new to both programs, Biab is probably easier to use than Real Band. These things are certainly worth mentioning to the developers but I wouldn't let them stop me from using the program, they're easily worked around and there's nothing else that does what it does. It sounds like you're not using the program much because of these glitches. ![]() For me this kind of thing is standard procedure and I find it a lot of fun. Having a Real Track generate a bar past the end of the tune is nothing to me, I can cut that out, do a quick fade where I chopped it faster than I can type this post. I take tracks from many different sources, prerecorded midi files, Biab generated tracks, my own playing and put them all together with lots of editing, cutting, pasting etc. RB is a midi/audio recording program with a ton of really neat features that you use to record and/or create with. I've been a pro musician for 40 years and I look at these programs to give me some good raw material to work with not to complete the tune for me. To me Rachael, all those things are little nothings but that's just me. ![]() #17004 - 03/13/09 03:56 PM Re: Difference between Band in a Box & Real Band? This forum has a lot of experienced people who can help with just about anything. My advice would be purchase the BIAB package that includes RealBand and spend a little time with both. I am playing around with RealBand and it is on my list to move my BIAB songs into RealBand once RealBand matures a little more and works out the kinks. ![]() If you're used to Sonar or something, RealBand should give you no problem. RealBand does most of the same but gives you more control over your tracks. With the addition of RealTracks and RealDrums, the sound is awesome. It does have a lot of features in from the years of growth but most are not needed to get very good sounding accompaniment. It essentially generates an accompaniment for you based on the chords, tempo, and style you choose. Depending on how much work you want to do, I would say BIAB is easier to get up and running.
