I know what you mean Mike,

I first used Band-in-a-Box back when floppy Disks were the thing and sound came from a Creative Labs SoundBlaster 16 sound card. Got tired of it.

Next time the program arrived on a cd rom. Still playing midi but Roland's Virtual Sound Canvas program gave the SoundBlaster Audigy card a run for the money. Got tired of it.

The last time the program came on a DVD. Still plays midi but through the Sonar TTS-1. But ... now there is also real audio created from RealDrums, RealTracks, UserTracks and loops. I've upgraded every year since.

Now is a magical time for audio production.
