…and it was not really fair. Of course, comparing a cheap saxophone sample and the worst GM drums available to a real saxophone and a real drumkit makes a great difference.

Bingo. Sounds like I wasn’t the only one thinking that.

… thereby confessing to not even trying to see the intention of the video. You need somebody to point out to you it was just an example? The MIDI sax lines were there as guides for the meat and blood saxophonists to know the lines the composer had in mind and then humanize the lines with real saxes. The idea of the video is to get the idea to get ideas of your own. Not compare the sound quality of the example material. Cheezeus, what more don’t you understand in life??? Your only intention is obviously to hate on Steinberg

If you don’t like it, don’t need it, won’t use it … don’t buy it!

Yes, I see the intention of the video and understand the point they are trying to convey. The observation was that using a GM MIDI sax against a legit sax recording can hardly be called a fair quality comparison test and is quite simply irrelevant.

I don’t think anyone of enough intelligence to use the software needs a “quality comparison” between GM MIDI and audio. I’m not mad, just pointing out that it’s a structurally weak marketing point for the video. And no, I will not be buying it for the record.
