Thanks to everyone who has contributed. Don't stop now.
The Forte DXi installation made a world of difference in the tone and body of the instruments. I also found a website with about 3,000 songs that could be downloaded and put in folders for BIAB which I did too.

Now I am just randomly playing demo songs and songs from that list and songs that evidently came with the program, and everything is probably going about 85% well. Now it just seems like (to my untrained and semi uninformed ear) that we have a group of musicians, the primary of which is a guy on a keyboard that can play anything. When they change songs even though they change tempo, beats and instruments somewhat it sounds like the same guys just trying to play a different song. I wish I had a more technical way to describe this. It's as if you found a band in a local hotel that has been there for 5 years playing the same routine night after night and even though they switch from Bossa Nova to Blues it sort of sounds like the same guys. I can't explain it any better than that.

The ideal would be to have Hendrick's band play Red House and Buddy Guy's band play Sweet Home Chicago, and Count Basie's band do One O'clock Jump. But as I pull up different songs the guys at the Holiday Inn Nugget Lounge play them all.

Am I searching for something that is not going to happen with BIAB or am I incorrectly playing different songs with one style set not to change or something like that?

You guys did so good the first time I thought I would try again. Meanwhile back at the ranch, $40 for Forte DXi isn't bad but I couldn't spring for the $399 or $799 Ketron gizmo - no way!

Thanks
