Same here and in fact that is why I use mostly MIDI. I can easily modify the tracks to my satisfaction. I also replace tracks with my playing. I know that I am no wheres as good as those RTs and in fact most all of the posters here but I love playing, even at my age.

I remember when the same thing was said about BiaB a few years ago. The same thing when DJs and Karaoke took over the wedding and bar business. I do not believe musicians will stop making music because of AI. In fact IMHO AI like BiaB will make them better musicians. YMMV

I'm no longer allowed to go caroling at the psych hospital.
I guess Do You Hear What I Hear was a bad song choice!
