That's a good point. Perhaps use Coyote Forte, something affordable and available on the PG Music website.

>>>...I figure a lot of the musicians shopping for my styles are going to use their computer's sound card or built in software synth to play them back. If my demos sounded much better using a decent synth than the end user's sound card, he/she might think I was cheating...>>>

WHAT I THINK: I think you are putting honesty and integrity ahead of squeezing the last dollar out of your advertising efforts. I dont know if this is the most lucrative approach, but it certainly confirms my impression of Mr Notes as a man who deserves my trust and admiration.

As an alternative to making high(er) quality versions of every demo, perhaps do something to Dare to Compare. Have several versions of a few representative styles using different sound sources and quality. The customer can then know that all the styles can sound as good as you want to pay.

Thank you all for voicing both sides of the problem.

JimFogle, that's exactly what concerns me.

Thanks for the kind words Flatfoot

Matt, I was just thinking about a "Dare to Compare" yesterday.

I keep flip-flopping and that may be a compromise.

With RTs out, I feel I need to show the potential of my styles and that they can approach RT quality with a proper synth. But then I would disappoint those who use the Windows or Apple soft synth.

My name is on everything, and that's important to me.

So right now I'm thinking about this, and I may change my mind.

Doing a few demos on the Win "wavetable", SD-90, VSC, Ketron and a couple of others -- put it in a square on the top of each page that has demo files with the "Dare To Compare" headline, and then go about doing all my new files with the SD90 and slowly changing the others.

I'd especially like to hear from people like Jim and Flatfoot about this idea.

I'd rather make fewer sales than for someone to think I've ripped them off. Like I said, my name is on it and my name has never been associated with anything less than the best I can do and an honest person to deal with.

I think that approach would be good. It's transparent, fair and educational, and not an overwhelming amount of retro work.

Bob, I agree with Matt on your compromise suggestion. It is educational from the aspect not everyone knows about high quality sound sources; they just know that there songs don't sound like the demo but don't know why. Your compromise will let them know why.

Still debating, still flip-flopping, and I'm still gigging a lot so I have more time to contemplate before making the final decision.

I know that in my fake disks I tell people there are no melodies or lyrics on the disk. I put it right on top of the ordering box, and I even title the paragraph "THE FINE PRINT" because we are all told to read the fine print.

Still I get a couple of people per year who write back disappointing because there isn't a melody on the fake disk. By then money has been automatically sent to the Visa/MC authorization company, Visa/MC merchant's account, and subcontractors, so I cannot refund their money. It makes me sad.

So if they don't read that, will they pay any attention to the Dare to Compare?

Perhaps 2 demos of the same song would be better.

SC demo (Sound Card)
SD demo (SD-90)

Of course the advantageous is the extra work (no big deal), the time spent (big deal) and the bandwidth used in the site (after a certain point, I get charged for bandwidth). A lot of web hosts no longer have a bandwidth charge, but moving my site to another host could open up another can of worms. I went through 3 bad ones before I found this one.

Plus it will make this page http://www.nortonmusic.com/styledemo.html a lot more complicated.

But I'm still contemplating and appreciating all the feedback I'm getting here and via PMs.

Thanks again y'all.

Bob

PGMusic has already gone to the trouble of making a demo that compares the way a song sounds with different sound sources.

DEMO PAGE

Maybe they would grant permission to link to their demos from your web site. In the final analysis, you just want to make the point that sound quality in MIDI files is largely a function of the sound source. The songs used wouldn't have to be yours to make that point.

Why spend valuable time reinventing the wheel?

Maybe if you contact them and let them know you are looking at other sites that don't have a bandwidth charge, they'll drop it for you in order to keep from losing your business. That way you may get what you want without having the hassle of changing sites

The worst they can say is "no", in which case you'll be exactly where you are now. But if they say "yes", you're in a better position with no extra effort.

Hi All,

I found a midi blues style that has a sax fill, I played it and that's exactly was it was- no melody just a fill at the end of a chord. I replaced midi sax with realtracks and it just plays melody line. Is there a way to convert midi to realtracks and have it play the fill.

There is a difference between MIDI and audio and MIDI. If you want to get a better sounding MIDI sax, the only answer I have is to get a better sounding synthesizer. But technology marches on, perhaps some day.

------

Back to Norton Styles:

I've pretty much nixed the dare to compare idea. People don't read the entire page - myself included.

Right now I'm thinking about two demos per style. Yes, it's more work, yes it's more bandwidth (yes, I'll call - good suggestion), and yes it will solve both sides of the dilemma.

But what to call them. I've nixed Hi-Fi demo / Lo-Fi demo thanks to a suggestion via PM, I'd like the name to be short, perhaps Lo-Fi demo and Med-Fi demo? Close, but no cigar. Just Demo 1 and Demo 2. It doesn't really say it. How about demo and demo +? Someone else via PM suggested PC Demo and EXT Demo, I like that best so far. Anything else?

I want it to be short so as not to unduly clutter this page http://www.nortonmusic.com/styledemo.html which is already pretty huge. And if possible, denote the difference between the sound card demo and the better demo.

Absolutely not PC and EXT. These leapfrog each other as the technology improves, but you can get terrible as well as outstanding sound quality depending on what you use.

I like Lo-Fi and Hi-Fi.

I'm liking Mac's Pro Demo a lot, but would like to find a term for the sound card that is that concise.

how about PC DEMO since those most likely to complain about quality are probably just playing MIDI thru whatever resources came with their PC.

(Plus, it even SOUNDS generic and undesirable)

Pat are you talking about a MIDI demo that can be played on anyone’s computer?

If so I thought about that but nixed it as anyone can DL the MIDI file and then have one part of the style; that is one A and one B part.


Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.

Right now I'm considering Mac's suggestion "Pro Demo" for the higher quality mp3 demo and Pat Marr's "PC Demo" for the sound card demo.

I also plan to put the name of the synth used in the mp3 tags - perhaps in the Album Title field or the Artist Field. Those playing the demo with the Microsoft Media Player and some others will be able to see what synth I used.

I have 4 new style disks in the works.
  • Dance/Techno with a bit of Smooth Jazz
  • Country/Rockabilly
  • Latin American
  • European

A few new fake disks too.

Not much work being done on them right now, it's the very busy gigging season. But here in Florida, "the season" dies after Easter and they bury it on Mother's Day.

Stay tuned.

Thanks again for all your suggestions, and if you have any more, they are certainly welcome.

Bob

About the amount of work you would need to do to provide higher quality samples for all your styles, I think you could get away with representative samples if the page is formatted right.

In other words, let's say you have twenty styles in a group. Each will have a Play button which you can call PC Demo. A few, though, could also have a second button called Pro Demo. People could try that, hear and learn the difference and realize what is possible, and know that any style they might buy is also capable of sounding so much better than the PC demo quality.

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
