Cool thread David. I will dig up some cool stuff that has gone to final selection on songtradr.
PS. I am completely with you on Real Band. I absolutely love it and use it in the same way as you plus I add interest by using stops and holds where ever it feels good and on whatever instrument(s) I feel at the time. I can honestly say I would not be able to produce without three things
1.real band
2.melodyne
3.izotope
