........or can you rehearse/hear the intended style change first?...



2012 has a web demo button on the style picker. So if they have a demo, and if you have net access on your music computer, then you can audition the style lol. I'll have to say that when it works, it does connect and stream very fast, making for a much quicker audition than any render could provide. I don't think they have all styles available tho, because I sometime get a file not found error.

I think it would be great if they had a four bar render that you could listen too. Something for the wish list I guess.

Still, 2012 is a great upgrade imo. All the new features are great. The direct input feature supplies a clean track instead of a driven or heavily effected sound and makes over a hundred tracks far more usable.
