Thanks Gary and for the kind words. Thanks also to Matt.

It's good to see you on the forum again Gary. You were missed around here.

Leilani and I are still gigging and grinning and it's the middle of our tourist season so we are delightfully busy.

I really prefer MIDI styles. I can export them to a MIDI sequencer or DAW and edit them to my heart's content. I can change instruments (change that Rhodes to a Grand, and so on), change chord inversions so the melody note is on top, exaggerate the groove, re-mix the drum set to emphasize or suppress one or more of the instruments, and thousands of things more. Plus I can put a proper intro or ending on it.

A good MIDI synth will sound 90-95% as good as a real track instrument. MIDI sequences are thousands of times more editable than audio tracks. It's a trade off, but for me to make the very good output of BiaB into something that is as excellent and ready for stage, I choose MIDI.

I wouldn't go on stage with an unedited Real Track song. They are good, but I can edit to make MIDI tracks much better.

Of course, there is more than one right way to make music. That is my way.

Right now Leilani and I are working on two new style disks and three new fake disks. Mostly jazz and rock content. Hopefully a release in a month or two, depending on how many problems need fixing. Stay tuned.
