That's a good point, Sam. But if an artist is not trying to boost his/her product placement, it is not a serious effort. I play just a few concerts a year now, but all the people I hire are full-time top professionals, and I shamelessly use their names to gain a wider audience and more CD sales. Unfortunately, success in the music business is often more about the business than the music.

That does not extend to this case, however. I liked Mac's point that the playing generated by the computer may not be fully reflective of what those artists would choose to sound like in person, or even on a recording. If I released a CD with Real Tracks backing (and I've given it some thought; Gary keeps asking me to do it), I would credit something like "Additional instrumental parts by PG Music".
