Genres such as rap and techno/dance are possibly musically and instrumentally with BIAB. It's the lyrics and vocal performance we seem to fall short of.....

In all honesty, if I were to write a song in rap/techno/dance/hip hop/house/pop, I would find a collaborator of the genre to co-produce. Same with Southern Gospel.

I have had the opportunity in the past to mix some stems by a really good and proficient producer in a genre I'm not proficient in. My question was "what does he want from me?". The quality of the source recording didn't need mixing to my ears.

This leads me to the thought we seem to be missing while BIAB may not give us the complete package for modern music, what's missing is beyond what BIAB is;

1. intended to provide and
2. beyond the scope of features offered by BIAB.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that were I to work for a rap,techno, dance,hip hop,house or pop producer providing tracks of instruments and percussions for a song, any said producer could use Biab generated tracks and instruments and produce a quality and genre specific song. To boot, there are thousands of hours of pristine recorded instruments that can be generated over any chord progression, in any key and at any tempo that are prime sampling and loop audio.

That the current active forum contributors can't do it does not mean that it cannot be done.
