I think there is a lot that can be done and still needs to be done.

Jazzman I do know what you mean. There are good tracks out there.
But I'm not talking about karaoke or karaoke singers.

These karaoke tracks are not what most musicians are looking for. Yes I do know about companies that sell professional backing tracks. Some are good but some are not that good. I don't want to sound like Chicago. Then again I don't want to use some cheesy midi track. There is no middle ground.

I think most have missed my point. Pat you are on the right track.

How many professional singers or bands you know want to use karaoke tracks. Then you sound like a karaoke singer.

Hows many want to use midi files but they have to because there is nothing better out there.

If you walk into a music store and ask how many know of PG music or RTs what answer will you get. Maybe 1 percent. Just think if every musician, talent agency, music studio knew what they were?

Think back to the time Joni Mitchell came out with Big Yellow Taxi. Since then how many bands have covered the song. I think over 500. Just imagine how many little groups out there would like to do the song or a song like it in there own way.

I'll bet none of them know about Band in a Box or RTs. Just think of the possibilities.

There is a new trend coming.

How many great songs on the radio have you heard done in a reggae style.

Country roads, Wide World etc. Just think of how many groups would love to do a cover of one of their favorite songs in another way to suit their own taste and style.

Or even better still how many groups or musicians are looking for new material. With RTs we could set up original material in several different styles or make it available for people to order them in any style. We could even use demos provided by PG. In fact it could be a whole new segment added to the pg site.

I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel. Why not just add it to what is already there. I was hoping the pg folks were listening but maybe not.

If this sort of thing would be added to pg it could become the biggest music site on the net. A sort of "google" so to speak for musicians.

Just thinking here. It may or may not work but we may be missing out on a great opportunity here.
