I got it mainly because I am a misanthrope. I don't want people coming into my house for ANY reason. Real Band (what I prefer) gives me quality players who are available to do tracks whenever I feel like working, with no schedules to coordinate. The "players" play very well, do more takes if I want them, never complain about it, never show up drunk, and are always on time. And I only had to pay them once. My CD was 90% tracks and 10% me. I have done a few songwriter showcases and got nothing but compliments about my "backing band".

I like computers (and dogs) SO much more than people. Covid quarantine has actually been quite enjoyable for me. I order stuff, people bring it to me in a day or two. Once I retired from work, I retired from people too.
