Joe V,
You'right and your concerns comes back on a regular basis on the BIAB forum. That's why I have been asking for years now - and other users did the same - to get some humanizing tools, as random velocity changes, MIDI expansions/compressions, random notes start times changes , all these features being selectable upon a channel basis. that means you can apply random velocities changes on bass and piano, and not on the strings for example. We all know that is not the ultimate solution, but it is more convincing than nothing.
I was hoping to get some humanizing tool in the 2013 version, but nothing is going out.
Note that you can slide the MIDI tracks when playing the songs, but it works only when you play the song, not when you render it in audio format. That has been asked to PG people.
Without humanizing and other tweaks, pure MIDI BIAB tracks will produce limited quality songs. That is a shade for a high level product like Band In A Box !

Reach for excellence
