How Do I Get A Better Sounding Midi?, looking for more realism Options

[madskillzman]

im a newb to logic and MIDI. Basically, iim looking for more realistic, well everything. Im not sure how to go about this. Im still trying to comprehend VST, soundfont, synth ..etc..

Heres what im trying to do.

Over in the PC world, i used to run a program called Guitar Pro. Pretty much, you would write an entire song with TAB, and it would play a MIDI with the corresponding note.. This is a great program to have a whole band learn songs without being present.

You can export the song you wrote as a midi. So what i wanted to do, was take it, and put the midis into logic. Then use real distortion guitar/bass ...our drummer is lazy so the realistic drums really got my attnetion. Then we would just use the midi tracks that are strings, synths, harpsicords, etc and mix them in.

I checked out the demo to DoggieBox (?) and that was a VERY cool program. however, is there a way to get THOSE drum sounds into logic without having to output a file?

So what can i check out to solve my problems guys? im not too worried about cost, i got a guy going to recording school and he can get me pretty much anything for 1/10th of the price.

Also, im assuming a different sequencer would have different wav files for each instrument/drum kit. Would logic see this in environmnet? (the new synth) it only says "Apple Quicktime" or "Rewire" in internal.


last newb Q, what is Mapped mean for drum tracks?

thanks in advance.
