But the one hugest difference between a song specific style, and an SMF is the bass line. Arranger bass lines never know what chord is next, so you don't get the voice leading and walking that the real line does (or any bass line played by a bass player). The bass line is one of the things that make a song a song.

No matter how specific the other parts get, the lack of a decent bass line is one of the main reasons I prefer an SMF when I'm trying to nail a particular arrangement...

But once again I point out the usefulness of Markers in SMF's. If you have never tried them yet, and are still using song specific styles just so you can rearrange structure on the fly, you are in for a surprise!



Are you kidding? didnt you know SMF's are Taboo to most players....where you been?
