When there is a track with multiple layers and it is transformed from realtime->rendered->realtime, all of the layers should stay intact! The files are still in the Pool, but it can be a pain to try to reconfigure say a drum take with multiple tracks if you weren't ready to commit to when you rendered.

I got burned by this on a recent session. Why would you want to lose your layers in this process, defeats the purpose for doing quick mixes with heavy chains, but then you get revision requests from client. Whoops, I have to go through auto save backups, save as a version before the transform, reopen my mix, import session data from my salvaged song file. Please give us layers on transforming back to realtime audio

THIS needs to be ON THE TOP of the list you guys! Fix This! I have been sitting for hours now trying to puzzle layers back together after a recording session. I'm just really thankful that it's not multi micked drum tracks or something... Why isn't this bug fixed yet?!?! Because it can't be that you did this one on purpose surely. No one would say "ah. when I render stuff because I don't have enough cpu power, and render it back later I would love to have all my layers disappear!!!"... ****.. I'm so ****** right now... Sorry, but this cost me money! It's half past midnight and I'm fuming...
