With all due respect, Chony (and I know you're a good musician), wouldn't that be just the next step of getting away from 'live' playing. I mean, hit a button (tab, pad, whatever) and some pre-recorded sax solo done on a real sax comes in, wows the people, and you nod to your audience as they give you a standing ovation. If you think musicians don't respect arranger players NOW, wait until THAT feature comes into widespread use. Ummmm, I think I'd rather sing over top of a CD.

In the words of that right-wing nutcase, Bill O'Reily, "DO IT LIVE".
