No, you're missing a big point. The Real Tracks midi is for notation only. When you check the box to save as a midi file, it's not a regular midi file. You try to play it and you won't hear anything. The reason is a real human had to physically transcribe the RT by listening to it just like we all used to do with records 40 years ago to figure out a part by ear. The person doing the transcribing is then manually entering the notes as notation the old fashioned way, one note at a time. The part was never actually played by a musician using a midi controller to create a midi file. There is no volume, no velocity, no controllers for reverb, vibrato, expressive slides, bends, nothing. Just the notes.

Notes alone won't play as a midi file unless you go into the file and add all that other stuff. Yes, you can add volume and expression envelopes but doing it after the fact produces a pretty fake sounding track. To me that's way too much work to keep tweaking it until it sounds decent but hey, maybe you enjoy that sort of thing. There are folks here who do it.

The Real Charts are simply an answer to many requests asking can we see an RT written out as music notation?
