I'm similar to you Deacon in that I too participate in or lurk on tons of different music related forums and I'm constantly watching various YT vids on similar subjects. I've posted here about that a lot but not from the POV of what you just posted. I think it's a great, perfect idea!

You are absolutely correct in that absolutely nobody even mentions Biab on all those blogs, vids and forums much less actually talks about it. Not even a little bit, it's like the Sahara desert out there as far as PGM is concerned. I remember years ago someone here put up a Wikipedia article about Biab and they took it down because there were no non PGM related articles anywhere to corroborate it. I was shocked about that at the time.

PGM really needs someone to push them into all the various social media platforms with like you say a total focus on modern musical styles. Build links to young people who are social media "influencers", all that kind of thing. It won't be easy though because of the incredible influence of Ableton Live. You want to get blown away? Do YT searches on that program. You can spend the rest of your life doing nothing but checking out Ableton on YT.

I think a great place to start with a new series on this is pointing out how Biab can work with Ableton, what can be done with the plugin because Ableton has already been tested with the plugin. It would have to show that Biab can do things inside Ableton that cannot already be done using standard Ableton techniques meaning that person needs to be an Ableton expert as well as an Biab expert. Considering how completely different both programs are and the demographics of both programs, I don't know if that person exists yet. But to me Ableton users needs to be the primary target for something like this because literally millions of young "bedroom producers" use Ableton for exactly the styles you mentioned.

When you watch vids of other DAW's over the last few years many of the enhancements they've come up with are pointed directly at Ableton users, things like working with loops and clips, having an arrangement pane where you can move clips around, chord tracks, stuff like that. We tend to think they're adding Biab functions, no they're trying to compete with Ableton. It's Ableton that's the king of hill with those styles.
