Thanks GDaddy. Oh yes.. GR-303 is a great electric guitar too! I could love to get one, you are done man with it and your GM70...wow!, Metheny heaven there , congratulations. About my xtsa, this Godin bring the best of three worlds in one piece, versatil electric, decent acoustic and great MIDI, all that without affect the national budget , Godin xtSA is a little over $1K,incredible since easily you can think of a guitar over $3K when you hold it in your hands! the top of line model LGXT is near to $2K but aside of cost unreachable to me at the moment, the LGXT is two humbucker, I prefer the versatility of my xtSA with MIDI, H/S/H pickup configuration plus split coil functionality I did add by myself with a push-pull pot and a little of home-luthiering.

About flute sounds I use Steinberg Hypersonic as my VSTi in Band in a Box, it sound very well and have a broad sound palette available, while is not a exactly a sampler library, Hypersonic is half sampler and half a synthesizer, I love the freedom that bring to me, drum sounds are pretty decent mainly after some custom tweaks, however Real Drums does arrive as the definitive medicine for weak midi drums, specially the supremely recorded and performed TerryClarke series..WOW!!. I have little experience in Real Tracks, I barely use the first one bundled in the BiaB entry pack of the local recording radio studio where I work, but give the impressive online demos the jazz/funk/rock/pop series have to be fantastic, I am saving for get them!

Tropical salutes amigo!
