@ Marty, i watched the EZ keys 2 trailer


The main part that interests me is the abilty to customize the performance. That was something that was missing on the first one, and any other program really, including BIAB.

In general boxed arrangements work for practicing, if you wanna learn how to be a good solosit on guitar say, playing with BIABs arrangements will help you a great deal. I just have always not liked it for composing music. Cause the software doesnt know your song, or even know you are recording one. Most good arrangements support the melody of the song, generic arrangements can only decently do it.

But im hoping Tonntrack doesnt sucker me and make me buy this, and then i get pissed off again. I wasnt happy with ez keys1 or ez bass, mostly because the playing patterns are so generic and maybe if you bought EVERY single add on they have, spending hundreds if not thousands, you might be able to find the perfect performance or close enough.

Thats where they really piss me off, the makret the software as the do all be all product, but you quickly realize thats just the program, you need tons of add ons to get a variety of playihng possibilities.

Ez drummer in my opinion is THE bvest drum prpogram out there. Never had to settle on close enough, and really, if i bought mor add ons i could probably hear exactly what i want them to play.

Harmonic instruments like piano and guitar are much harder to master through software, drums are much easier cause they do their own thing, they are not part of the chord progressions and melodies.

EZ bass SOUNDS good, and you can play it yourself on keyboard, and get a solid sounding bass line. I was hoping i could get it to play what i heard in my head...not so much.

This is mind boggling too... all native instruments stuff are really good, but even more so if you play piano decent, i suck on piano.


But i may end up going with some of NAtive instruments Electric guitars just because the sound, you cant get sounds like that on cheaper gear, you need great guitars and amps. and conveneince, who wants to do all that micing and who has room for all that gear. In some aspects its better, the one major flaw is it's not really playing to your song.

but this [naughty word removed] is really cool. I think it may actually be easier playing guitar on a keyboard, all u need to do is play the chords
