The answer is no.


Surely that is a matter of opinion and also a matter of the context of the job at hand. Please be aware that many of the advanced VSTis are able to impart some nuance of their own that makes for a more human sounding playback. And the overall control a person has with a MIDI base can allow a much better final product. After all, with RealTracks, the proposition is that you either accept 100% of what BIAB produces or else you can't use it. With a MIDI base, one has the ability to adapt the playback as needed, and in many cases, that can sound far better (or far more appropriate to the task at hand) than what BIAB produces on its own.

Yes, of course I use them when they will fit the groove I need. There just aren't very many of them. There are 2000 RealTracks and only 150 SuperTracks. The new release apparently adds only 3 more. Not very likely to cover what I need. So I end up using mostly the styles that have been out there since 2005 or earlier.


FWIW from a new user, I want MIDI for everything. RealTracks hold little value for me.
