Yea I know that's open ended and ill defined but this is one RT "gap" that must be filled with either real string players or more likely evil MIDI. I'd pay a LOT more than you are asking for current RT sets just for this ONE SET (I and most of us here are no Hans Zimmer) Thanks Larry Last edited by Larry Kehl; 01/02/12 12:51 PM.

Not just strings but gentle brass and anything that sounds good with standards, ballads and many of the songs in the Great American Songbook. BIAB has hundreds of styles that swing and bounce but I would love some gentler, richer styles. Also there is no need to include solo instruments in the styles, I would prefer five instruments that provide a full band sound and I can add my own solos if required. IF it is too hard to do with RTs then MIDI is fine for me also. Tony

But, it would be nice to add those touches with strings, vocals, etc.. that would lead to a sound more like recorded CDs. If so, does BIAB then become a different program? Will it get too complicated? It's almost there for me, now. I don't need solos. I do that myself and with other players. All I want/need is slick, professional-sounding backing arrangements. I wish BIAB could approximate the sound of some of the high-end arranger keyboards. Or, better, the ability to import BIAB styles and arrangements into an arranger keyboard, with that high-quality sound. I'm sure that will never happen for many reasons.

As "Notes" clearly stated Midi sounds like what you run it through. High end arrangers run midi through high end synth patches.
