I have to admit this is all getting way over my head although I think I can follow a lot of what you said.

The thing is I'm not an audio producer or a composer. I'm just a jazz guitarist who's playing with a jazz combo. I want to set up Band-in-a-Box so I can play with the computer when my fellow musicians are busy but not have their virtual instruments sound like crap. The real tracks sound great but if I need a horn to play the melody, the Band-in-a-Box horns sound terrible. That's the only problem I'm trying to solve.

ChatGPT has told me to look up something called SWAM so I've been looking into that and that's much more what I'm interested in. Just a decent sounding trumpet, trombone, saxophone, guitar, bass, keyboards. If you could point me in the right direction for that, that would be a huge help.

Thanks so much for getting back to me
