I use Acid Pro 6 to process the midi files I generate from LP. While not
exactly "high end" it's simple enough and flexible enough to get what I want
out of the sound output (essentially a demo production). One of my band mates
think the drum sounds are "funny" - I'm actually pleased, and I can't get any
decent rock type guitar sounds out of the computer - but that's probably more a
function of the sythesizer software I'm using, which is just the defauly I get
with Windows XP.I don't even bother with dynamics in my LP output - it's
simpler to do that in Acid. There are some compromises - I tend to have to
have a separate midi LP file to deal with things like fermatas and grand
pauses, but the system works well enough for me.
Unfortunately Acid is not free...
