Some great comments; I hope you'll keep presenting ideas. One point that may have been overlooked in my first posting is I create cover songs most of the time though I have created a few originals. For the question I'm asking it may not make a difference to your responses.

One question that comes to mind is how much do the style and RealTracks interact? Sometimes I will start with a midi, hybrid or Real style and it seems that the more I swap out instruments the more the sound drifts away from the feel I started with. Even reverting back to the original instruments don't seem to capture the original feel I started with.
