But you can bring that MIDI track to life with the addition of subtle pitch bends, volume changes and vibrato. Then you convert that live sax track to a live audio track.



About what? I'm missing the point or something. What do you disagree about?

All I mentioned was:
1. Get the notes in by any means possible
2. You can convert the midi to audio by freezing and it works like any other audio file.
3. You can change the key of the keyboard to make things easier.


This is the line that I was talking about "Once you have the parts.... you can convert it into audio and work with it like any other file. I have never, not even once, used any of the midi CC controllers in any of my songs. Never." A static BiaB MIDI track when convert will be a static audio track. Adding various CCs will add realism to said static track, this is especially true with guitar, bass, and horn tracks.

In my mind your statement gave the idea that you do not need CCs, which of course I disagree. If I am wrong then I apologize.

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
