Mick it wasn't a stab a a skilled controller user like you ,if you don't have any controller and write a melody line in midi it rarely has sound properties of a wind controller and none of a sax .
It could IF one would learn the ins and outs of midi controllers, CCs and pitch bend, and the nuances of the instrument they are trying to emulate. Granted this takes a lot of time and patience to do however the results can be very satisfying. If you are just using notes with no CCs or pitch bend then yes that will sound nothing like the real instrument.
For years I used to use the above method, even with my guitar controller. I still use it with the wind controller but I’m doing a lot less editing now.
I would like to add two things to this thread: First, as it’s been said before, RTs, RD and Midi are tools to be used. Choose whatever fits for you and/or the song you are working on.
Second PGMusic has spent a lot of time and effort into RTs and RBs. I don’t blame them as it was and still is an excellent business move. A lot of people, including me a heavy midi user, are happy with the results. I for one thought that midi was dead in BiaB. I’m very thankful that the PGMusic staff in at least thinking about improving the midi side of things. If Biab 2012 is any indication I think Midi will improve more rapidly now in PGmusic’s programs.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
