Don't give up to quickly. I at first was a little disapointed with the sound of the tracks, they all sounded sort of cheap and video gamish. That is because BiaB tends to use quick easy GM based synths to reproduce the sounds, and while convienent and quick, they are not the best sounds.

What i find very effective is to build the tracks in BiaB, and then save and reopen in RealBand and use the abilty to use more variety of synths there and mix and match until i get a real solid sound from the tracks.

This software can sound as real and good as you choose it to be. It takes hard work, and some learning. I also love to play far more then fiddle with software, but striking a balance can produce some very fine results.

I do not have 200 songs like JohnSilvertones, but i am on 45 and counting i spend about 4 hours per week building tracks, and about 4 hours playing them right now due to schedule issues. But it is starting to come together, and sound very nice. I thank PG for this cause before it was a bigger process.
