I wanted to revisit this thing as the release of 2012 changed the game.

AS mentioned above, the looping allows any sound you want to add in, plus now there are real tracks with no effect on them just dry clean guitar tracks, add Amplitude to get your attitude right.

Still BiaB, and Rb, are aimed at a wide and basically conservative group. The background is jazz, and such. if you can't see any value in it, then that is your choice.

It's kind of like walking into a Jazz club, and saying this place is cheesy, because it does not have a heavy Metal night!



The conservatism is more to do with the kind of Jazz on offer in BIAB styles. Its mostly the relaxed swing or Smooth Jazz styles which come across as background music. Some of the modern ones are better as are the Jazz fusion efforts. They do need to seriously think about varying the dynamic levels in all their style database beyond simply a and b however.

The thing is that a lot of the cutting-edge post-modern Jazz made nowadays is anything but conservative. Some of it takes on board Metal and just about every conceivable genre in a sort of constantly shape-shifting, highly interactive approach that makes it hard to cover in a style based program like this. Still I'd like at least to see BIAB try to cover new trends in music; if only out of an instinct for self preservation in the future market out there.
