Great observation David.
Craig has a group of pros in studio all playing with focus on the same feel/beat at the same time. But working with BIAB RTs, EZKeys, EZBass and the associated midi for the Kontakt guitars is like herding cats to get them all playing together with the same focus.

I think the EZDs were the best reproduction of Craig's song. This was really groovin on the 2 and 4. But the drums were done by a pro at my end.

I am not putting any blame on the midi-tools used in this song. I am sure the lack of focus is more my lack of experience in coding the midi (which permits lots of expression). But I am personnally skeptical of the BIAB RTs ability to focus on the task at hand. As the arranger, there is not really a lot I can do to focus them.

Good input - gives me something to think about here.
