in summary i hope people see why i like coyo when i want to work fast.
i would just like some of the gm sounds to sound better.

I agree. I use BiaB as a scratch pad using GM. Then I bring the song into my DAW and use my much better sounds there.

But be careful about what you wish for! GM has 128 different sounds and to have better sounds could have a huge impact on the file size.

Have you checked out SF2s as I suggested in an earlier message? That may be a possible solution for you.

When GM was new it was a God sent as we could pass songs back and forth and have them sound OK. Today MP3s have taken over, putting GM sound sources only for programs like BiaB and MIDI files, thus not a huge demand anymore. Most people I know use GM like I do and then substitute them with better sounds. Even PGM now has SFZ and the ability to use VSTis to accomplish that task.

I agree.

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