I have been using this for at least 20 years and have found it an invaluable tool. Recently they have greatly expanded the "Real Instruments", which enables me to reproduce, for example, the authentic Honky Tonk band sound here, or others such as Gypsy Jazz quintet, bluegrass band, Western Swing, Delta blues, and hundreds of other niche styles. It comes for Mac or PC, and in lots of different sizes and versions.Check it out with the links below!
