one other last thought-

in the initial stages of song development im not planning to use real tracks, just midi. the first part of the process (similar to my previous process using older versions of biab) will be just entering chords and auditioning styles with these. my hope is that i can minimize and automate quick style auditions.

once i find a progression/song and style that i like i will likely save the file as a biab project, whether stand-alone or vst. from there i will copy the midi file from the stand-alone to my daw and route through kontakt for midi playback OR i will drag real audio tracks from the vst.

the question will be stand-alone vs. vst- how can i do the chord/style audition in the quickest, most seamless way.

thx
