On occasion if an RT or RD fits I use it but 99.99% of the time I use MIDI.

There is more than one way to use BiaB, and I'm thankful we can all use what we like the best.

Here is an afterthought on my previous post.

I've done over 50 fake book companions with hundreds of songs each. Quite often, a song will need 2 or more different styles, as the A, B, and/or C (or more) parts might have very different rhythm changes.

Searching through the styles, I often used 2 or more different styles, but they have different instruments. Might be a picked bass on one and an acoustic on another, or a string section or vocal aahs on another.

With RTs the instrument changes can be so drastic that they don't fit the song. With MIDI, you can change the instruments, so the same instruments are played on all the different sections.

There are literally thousands of things you can do with MIDI that you cannot do with pre-recorded audio samples. At least for now. With advances in technology, I reserve the right to change my mind if the situation changes.
