What they said.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you could also substitute a MIDI track for a missing RealTrack. It's surprising how well this can work in the mix. For my Latin jazz charts, I often intentionally put in a MIDI piano.

If it looks like I'm not sure, it's because I don't actually use RealStyles. As John just explained, they are only a preselected collection of RealTracks. You can just construct your own mix, which we were doing for years before RealStyles were introduced. Old habits...
