In a live band
(I was a professional
musician for about a dozen years), the drummer and ensemble
are all in "psychological sync" in a way, so that the tempo
fluctuations sound "tight" and realistic, yet human and

Yeah... nothing beats a group of musicans that click and all adding
their personal sound to one complete song. Just being with people and
playing can inspire more creativity.
It can also drive you up the !$@^*ing wall. I currently play with a
number of good players, but the human front can be awfully exasperating.
The one thing I really like about using computers to make music is that
they remove the human restrictions. Of course, those same restrictions
are often what makes for truly exciting moments, so I guess it;'s about
like everything other hard bargain in life. ;-)
