Tones,

thanks for posting your thoughts. My own opinion on this varies somewhat. After years of not going out to hear live music, I started again recently. My biggest complaint with every single group I've listened to so far is that after about the third song I feel like I've heard everything the band can do. All the songs start to sound alike to me. I have heard others voice the same complaint...

Sometimes it gets boring because the genre never changes, sometimes because the musicians use the same licks over and over, sometimes because the tone or instruments or the effects never change. But so far it has always gotten boring VERY quickly.

I understand that you are shooting for a realistic sound, one that would be consistent with what a full band would generate. But the technology exists for you to EXCEED what the average band could do! Just an idea to plug into your thinking as you move forward.

Or not. As always, your mileage may vary. My own planning to get back onstage in 2011 has been geared toward achieving a highly varied sound rather than a highly homogenized one.
