Personally I think it should be against the law to even attempt to recreate the sound of a saxophone:) Bad enough with all the amateurs making it sound like a lawn mower.

It seems though that professional quality sound is realistic for at least bass and drums and piano. And that's all I really need.

My biggest concern is getting lazy and falling into the trap of just using the pre done rhythm tracks, instead of taking the time to create something original, that doesn't end up sounding like accompaniment software.

I would add that I'm a jazz guy. I only thru in the new age and classical because I'm not entirely sure what I am trying to do musically with this. Probably jazz/instrumental pop of some sort. But NOT the R & B groove of smooth jazz. Likely mostly latin stuff.

I had the thought to do this when hearing that pop singer Billy Eilish had her brother, Finneas produce the tracks for her songs. And it sounded pretty good to me, like a real band.
