I agree. I use RTs, mostly for clients who want to record a vocal. They are amazed at how fast and how real sounding backing tracks I can get for them for them by using RTS. However:

Is not true anymore. Check these out to see what I mean. Note you can get the identical results at home as you can on these demos:

I am not trying to start a war, I am just trying to set the record straight. There is a lot of misinformation out about MIDI, especially on this site. IMHO this is because people compare RTs with the crappy GM MIDI sound source that comes with their products. I agree that comparing those two sound sources RTs win hands down. But there is another world of sound sources out there if one wants to explore. A world where a lot of musicians and music companies live.
