Thanks you guys ! Tommy, all I've done so far (in BIAB) is available in my soundcloud link in my sig. ...about a dozen tunes, mostly Hawaiian lap steel, so not too many people's 'cup-o-tea' but I've done about every genre and style of music in my 59 years. Always wanted to learn pedal steel...tried one and the pedal part would take MANY years to learn, so I opted for the non-pedal. Less confusing.

Until the Garritan stuff and new features in 2012, I never, ever fooled with midi anything. But until we get Real Track strings and horns, MIDI is what I (we've) got to work with. Overall, I can live with, no, actually like, the results of the Garritan products so far. The more I learn how to 'write in' the expression on midi tracks, the better they'll sound.. but it requires MUCH time and patience...both of which I'm growing short on the older I get !
