Of course deciding or not deciding to produce another album should be, and is, entirely up to you. But to deny yourself and others the satisfaction of new music because of needing the collaboration of live musicians to uphold the same [high] standards compared to using BiaB I don't understand for 2 reasons.

1. As I understand RealTracks (and there is MUCH I don't understand), RealTracks ARE recordings of live musicians . . . in fact, some of the best muscians alive today.

2. Even if the RealTracks were not produced by live professional musicians, the quality of them are so high that most if not all listeners on Pandora and other streaming services couldn't detect the difference anyway. Heck, I have seen postings here where someone needed to ask which (if any) instruments are played by the poster and which is BiaB.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
