I agree but how can midi be easier? All midi is is digital instructions telling a synth what to play and how to play it. This is all there is to midi....RIIGHT, haha. Trying to emulate a real instrument takes much more than simply entering the notes into notation. It's all the articulations, modulations, effects that takes it completely over the top. ANY Biab midi styles would sound awesome with several thousands worth of specialized synths just like your Abby Road drums. Multiply that by each instrument in a Biab midi style.
Implementing that is where all the complexities come from. What synth? That alone causes thousands upon thousands (millions?) of pages of questions from users of every piece of DAW software there is. How to set it up, how to get rid of latency, the computer isn't powerful enough and on and on and on. It's the software synth that means a user has to suddenly drop his instrument and turn himself into a computer nerd. GM was the answer to KISS'ing it but GM is very limited. Two piano choices, three guitar choices, very limited effects and so on. We need/want/require many more choices than that and all the software libraries are proprietary. No standardization at all and there never will be. Why? Because one company will implement a midi guitar totally different from another. The Midi Standard includes a whole bunch of unused CC's for that precise reason, to allow companies to develop their own way of creating sounds and some require a specific midi controller. Same with horns, stings, you name it. A top of the line brass library can cost $3,000 and you literally need a college degree and a lot of experience to get the most out of it. Studio quality sessions especially big budget movie soundtracks have a ton of midi in them and they sound awesome. BUT the user meaning US has to be a high level nerd to do it.
No way around it, my friend.
