If you set your recording software to a high MIDI resolution, like 9600 ppq instead of the typical default of 120 ppq (tha'ts "Parts Per Quarter" as in quarter note) and then Record MIDI Instruments in Realtime, the kind of timing resolution you can get easily rivals what you can get when recording Audio. With much smaller filesizes and the ability to get deep in there and edit out a bad note or two without having to resort to Punchins, Multi-takes and Crossfading or other methods that must be done in the Audio domain.



I guess you are saying the above is not possible in BIAB?

Exactly. Band in a Box is locked at 120ppq. In most cases, that is likely enough, though, as witnessed by some of the stuff that was obviously MIDI recorded by the likes of Oliver Gannon or Miles Black, et al. But I do wonder if they recorded the MIDI track inside BIAB or if they used Powertracks set to higher resolution and then converted and imported to BIAB sometimes. I don't know either way, just something I've occasionally wondered. As it stands, I don't have problems all that much recording MIDI myself inside BIAB with the 120ppq resolution. My meager attempts to play come out okay enough for me. So I wouldn't let that become some sort of impediment to not trying if you catch my drift. What I'm talking about here is an improvement, but be aware that it may be subtle and slight, heard only be those with the trained and golden ears. It will not stop a realistic sounding performance at all. Think about it for a minute -- can you actually subdivide a quarter note beat into 120 parts in your head?
