Those beer drinkers in the audience wouldn't know a cheesy midi sound from having a pro on stage running the same riff. At the end of they day some really old cheesy midi thing comes on the radio and my Mom is gushing over it.



I agree with this mostly. However, I have a few songs which start with a solo Walking Bass. Using Midi regardless of hard of soft synth just sounds cheesy. Can the audience tell? I have no idea but I sure can. Using RealBass though, I sometimes have to generate the track several times to get the bass line I like. After that, I Render it.
