Yeah.. I've heard that kind of thing in the Cakewalk forums. They either think it's midi or call it cheating.

All that aside.... the truth is, you can open your real track folder and navigate to any of the various sub folders and open them and see the actual wave tracks. Listen to them.

They are NOT midi, using a good synth. They are actual live players...hence the names of the players in the RT list.

As Floyd said.... No steel synth or fiddle synth running a midi track can sound remotely close. I have had people PM me and ask me who I had playing the fiddle and steel.

I try to avoid the conversations about RT & BB in other forums because I don't need the drama and grief of dealing with folks who refuse to believe BB/RB is a real, and viable way to render real instrument tracks.

If people are open to new ideas and ask, I will bend over backwards explaining BB and RB and how it works so they can understand. Several folks have picked up BB as a result of discussions about the music and how good it sounds after discussing things with me.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
