1) The idea of a console is great but for now what would workflow be with current BIAB?


Good question - don't know the answer

Yes. As you already know you can assign an EZKeys sound source to your track. But if you have a DAW that has a chord track (not BiaB's chord track) and you can assign notes in a track to follow said chord track then yes you can bring an EZKeys MIDI track into your DAW and have it play to BiaB chords. You may have to do some editing but I have found this to be very easy in Studio One Pro 6.

I know a big part of that sound is because of the cheesy default MIDI instruments but I'd prefer to focus on MIDI that was captured from live players and not generated on a computer (unless it has convincing humanizing.) How do I find the MIDI bits that are live players and/or otherwise humanized?


In BiaB the only way is with sm. But you can easily modify any BiaB track to accommodate your wishes. Or in your DAW input a non-quantized MIDI file. With some modification, humanizing, and a very good MIDI sound source you can get satisfying results, at least in my mind I can.

Yes, that is explained in another thread.

I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.
