what i've recently tried to do was this:
make the tracks sound like a "real" band was actually playing it.
so the main thing is not the velo and attack and stuff like that that make the music real, but really what feeling does the track give you when you're listening.
have you ever had the feeling that, when you listen to a track, you kinda imagine the bass player beeing black, with a cigar in his mouth, and rocking on them slaps and stuff like that.

what do you think about realism in tracking?
worth do do? why?

and i guess this topic does not count when making trance?!! :D

First of all, I believe, kinda live music feeling is hard to be achived with sequencers or trackers. It is very hard to create eg a bass guitar theme with instrument plugins, as you never "play" in the sequencer the bass theme, as you would do with the bass guitar. If I want to create some really live feeling, either I or my friend plays in the live instrument the theme.

It is also important that in live music you, ideally, you never have the same theme in the similar sequences, the musician always ads some variation. Check Sting or any kinda jazz. So, lazy trackers :) (including me), you need to create different themes for repeating sequences.

Of course you can do some live music feeling, if you have very good samples, but based on experience, the creation of the instrument from good samples, eg in NN19, can take days or weeks, so better use the live instrument itself.

yeah, but that doesn't get you anywhere, does it?
you still have to arrange a melody, and of course I, or i believe any musician, get's inspired by the sound, but you still have to make a melody sound "real", no?

Let's just not mix the live feeling with the live instrument feeling. Melody is inspired by the instrument, that is true, but this instrument does not have to be a live instrument.
