Is the excellence of RT's killing midi? I think RTs are indeed excellent, and that they aren't "killing" midi. The expression "killing" sets up a "one or the other" question and I don't view it that way.

The forum is loaded with great conversations on RT versus midi. From what I've read and what I believe, selling the benefits of both in order to have complete and total control over what is played by instruments in a song is the answer to "How do we sell the benefits to new users question."

Sell the "total control with both" instead of "this ain't your father's BIAB midi."

That said, outside of BIAB it's a midi world. Real Tracks? The rest of the world doesn't get it.
