I have said this before, but using Band in a Box to make tribute band stuff or try and get the thing to be a copy of the original will drive anyone nuts. I played in a band once, and they did not notice I was packing up. The lead guitarist and the backup guy were arguing, about 20 minutes of it, on how so and so did some lick. This was really common. I did not start playing keys for them as a member of a Roy Orbison tribute band, I wanted to do our own takes on good tunes for dances.

In the end it is about making music, your way. It is more fun to mess with the styles, mute and unmute parts, and put the song in a folder because you like it, and revisit it over and over, making it better.
