not sure i'm gonna upgrade.
(ive been a big pg supporter over the years.)
frankly i'm rather disappointed with this release.
both in terms of the added technical features i need , as well as the added song styles.

my main music interests lie in 60's //70's rock (includeing soft/heavy rock/pop but not tres heavy metal),
and i would like to get back into the operatic style of singing that is found in old rodgers and hammerstein movies. i enjoy singing opera , particularly comedic opera.
these latter R/H styles are lush orchestral soundscapes.

thus i was hoping that biab, over time would include these types of soundscape styles.
alas i have oodles of jazz and country styles which i never use.

my other comment is, though the electric guitar rock styles are v good "technically" ie the playing, i find often i have to manipulate the actual "sound" via plug ins etc to get the song sound i want.
i would recommend upgradeing the "sound" in these styles.

still i believe biab has too much of a jazz bias. and i like some jazz. but for me it has to be very melodic jazz.

exotic chord structures are all well and good.
but songs like taking care of business (first aired in a jam
in BC if i remember when Randy B started rocking on C/Bb/F )
are a lesson in the fact that lots of people just want to
rock out on a saturday night.
thus the song became a huge hit. simple as it might be in chord structure.
its simplicity is a great songwriting lesson imho.

in summary i would like to see more film soundscape styles, and many many MANY more orchedstral instruments.
i would very much like to get back into my operatic singing. but i have to stick to rock/pop right now due to lack of features/soundscape styles in biab.

best.

Great idea! I would personally like to see more orchestral Realtracks, as well as modern heavy metal (drums particularly).
