Yup, you're 100% correct. The different modes also have great overlap. For
example, I record my sax playing on a linux box (using mic) overtop of MMA
generated MIDI tracks generated inside a linux box using timidity. Of
course, sometimes I have a real band and record that and process tracks in
the same box. And, if I could figure out how to insert software synthesis
into all this ... I probably would.
Best,
