Could you please elaborate on this? I'm wondering if it is from your experience, or if Dr. Gannon actually said this, or if it's in the manual someplace and I missed it? If it's from your experience, are there any circumstances (styles etc.) in which it works better or worse? Thanks.
First off, all of this is "based on my experience", just so that is clear.
What I'm getting at with this particular note is that when you turn the "Fast render" on, the rendering process is still going on as you play (and this fact is straight from the video where 'Fast Render' was first introduced!), whereas if you turn it OFF, the program registers the whole song before 'deciding' which of its many playing variables it should go for per bar. The end result tends thus to be better (both technically and musically) when this feature is turned off.
But again, this is my own experience, mileage may vary.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
