I use only MIDI styles and play them through a good MIDI tone generator so they sound about 90-95% as good as the RTs, are many times more editable (therefore capable of adding more expression) and the folder runs about 700MB. This includes all my 21 style disks, all 7 Hawesford's Styles, all 29 of my Fake Disks (plus some older editions), 2 David Bailey's Fake DIsks, 12 Jim Wedd Chord Substitution Disks, Sherry Mayren'ts Klezmer Disk and my 8 MIDI intro and ending disks.

Can you imagine how many TB disks you would need if all 77 PG MIDI style disks were RTs and added to the present number?

MIDI is not only efficient, but most pro musicians that I know prefer MIDI.

Of course, I sell MIDI styles so read this with that in mind. But I also prefer MIDI styles for the reasons listed here http://www.nortonmusic.com/midi_vs_loops.html

RTs sound good, but IMHO I can export MIDI to a sequencer and make them much more expressive than the RTs, add song specific licks, and other musical devices.

But then again, there is more than one correct way to make music, and my way is best for me, but not necessarily best for you.
