One of the rather neat features of BIAB is it's ability to "quantise" notation whilst keeping the natural sound of real playing. Of course it will quantise the notes themselves if you ask it to. That said, I did spend rather too long a period trying to understand why BIAB wasn't honouring rests in the notation ... it hid them as part of that quantizing of notation. One can turn of the rest-suppression, but BIAB can then be overgenerous inserting them.

The great thing about RTs is that they make a pretty natural-sounding track with only modest effort.

MIDI tracks tend to need more effort, but then you can make nearly anything you want, with nearly any instrument you want, real or imagined.

I think that last sentence says why RTs will likely not kill off MIDI, or at least not anytime soon.
