Charles I'm doing most of the same things as you except using Midi Styles. But, recently while trying to figure out what was wrong with my MIDI drums I lost my SampleTank sounds. So I'm stuck using RealTracks exclusively right now. I want to try your method. Create the song using all MIDI tracks, but, I'm going to have to figure out what I did to loose SampleTank MIDI sounds first.

I start all of my writes with the lyrics, then after singing a melody, I add a simple rhythm guitar cord structure. And then stick the cords into BIAB. Everything changes when I apply a style as my melody drifts significantly from style to style. Is that normal?
