Thx Alyssa, I've been working with Biab since 1995 and have bought a version every other year or so. Hearing "new styles" while keeping with the old rhythm section makes me think of the emperor with his new clothes.
A major step for Biab was when the old styles got updated, the old jazz sounded suddenly more dynamic and less cold. This was ten yrs ago, I believe and it put big smiles on our faces.
There has to be a way to enhance it even further not involving me having to alter the styles by hand to enhance dynamics. For example: lines where all the patterns have snares and rides with more or less equal velocity... cleaning that up would help tremendously.
There should be a way to have a A+ style that isn't as busy as the B-Style but more heavy, a B+ and B++ style, that would be busier, for the end of the chorus or for a pedal tone passage. Sparse, cool, busy, busier still...? That way there could be 4 measures of mayhem followed by a more intricate couple of measures and then building into a B-section.


Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums.
