I do exactly the same thing, Dave, with straight guitar (no sequences) and straight piano.
Works for me!

I would like to do the same...but with the band..they need the sound like the record tracks..
Rarely will you see me playing arranger mode..band or solo..I will basically use a strip down style if I do, or just the drums..and sometimes bass with drums..
You won't catch me using factory one touch settings..ever

I mentioned often..I want the same band members for every tune..

Sometimes I wish we could roll back to the 80's and earlier...when we played what we wanted to hear..a few layers, bass drums and a pedal to add our colors...and the hot young lady out front..(singer)
