Been watching this thread for a while now and all I can say is,... what?


I AGREE with the "composition and patch choice are mutually dependent" statement but not the premise that that is a BIAB shortcoming?

I use Kontakt (FULL Kontakt, not the free player) the SAME way in BIAB that I USE it in Sonar, Reaper, Cubase, Mixcraft 7,.. actually the same way I use ANY non-GM compliant SS in those same programs.

It is no harder or easier, for me anyway, to use in BIAB than in Sonar?

What you describe should/will also happen in SONAR or Reaper. Any time you first load or "generate" a new MIDI only song in ANY DAW. You have to PICK a softsynth patch, or external HW module patch, or both, for each instrument that you think is BEST for that PART for that SONG?
