I'm finding that a good MIDI file playing a high quality sound source can be far more effective than a 'Real Track' that isn't quite what I wanted.

I'm working on a song that uses a repeated Bass riff for almost the entire song. I penciled in 4 bars in my MIDI editor and copied those 4 bars to the rest of the song. I output the track to Trillogy and it sounds incredible, much better than the RT's I tried for bass.

Sometimes the RT's can be perfect for the song - Sometimes you have to change the song a little to better fit the RT's - and sometimes the RT's don't work at all.

I am impressed with RB & RT's as VERY useful tools for working out arrangements and trying out ideas I might not have thought of.

The most useful change to me would be "Higher resolution MIDI" to improve "feel".
I think GM is the best MIDI standard for BIAB. I don't want BIAB/RB to try to be an all-in-one music workstation. The cost would have to go up and the bugs would multiply.

I can put MIDI into my Sequencer - I can edit it to my heart's content - I can send it to a soft synth with "Round Robin" playback and the sound I want.

I don't doubt that Peter Gannon & team will come up with exponential improvements to BIAB/RB/RT's - but I do hope that they don't leave out MIDI improvements. I would love to see MIDI versions of RT's - Maybe with an option to adjust Pitch Bend etc. to the synth being used.
