People who say you can't do modern with BIAB, I just have no idea what they are talking about. Maybe I can repeat something I have said here several times that will help you understand. I CAN do modern music. I CAN do it with my physical instruments. I CAN do it with my virtual instruments. And I CAN do it with BIAB. But what I am looking for is for BIAB to create modern music as quickly and easily as it does jazz or country or classic rock. If I want a song in any of those three genres I can simply choose one of hundreds of BIAB styles and in a matter of minutes I can have an incredible start on a song! On the other hand, BIAB just does not offer the same agility and variety when it comes to modern music. And I wish that it did! Perhaps it is a pipe dream and BIAB will only ever be good at the stuff that has been done over and over in the past. Certainly, jazz and country and classic rock are fairly easy to describe and quantify. And modern music is a lot tougher to nail down. But I hope PGM will endeavor to create some fresh styles that sound, right out of the box, like they could have been created in 2021 instead of the 1990s or earlier. Jazz, Country and Rock are not modern music? I think you need a different term. Do you mean EDM, Chill, Trap? It sounds so elite to call some music modern and other genre not modern.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

I hope those of you who would like to make ‘modern’ music have gone, or will go, to the Styles Wishlist forum to give specific songs with links, so PG Music has examples to consider.

Thanks for that suggestion. Many times I recommend the poster to take the request to that specific forum. Recently I was surprised to see a fellow member suggested not to do this. I perhaps think that they thought it would completely alter the musical direction of the program. With a library of 8000+ existing styles, I would never presume that they would be 'dumped' in favor of a new direction.

Hmmm, maybe PGM could find plenty of examples here, https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100Even better would be if PGM hired some folks who were deeply into modern music. And maybe give Brent Mason a break?

No, I mean modern like music created in 2020 or 2021 (or even the 2000s!) The majority of BIAB styles for the genres I mentioned do not sound modern.

With modern stuff, if you had more variations of the same instrument like you have with Drums, like the same guitar going from one strumming/picking/held/muted strum pattern to another.
You now have A part that plays in A and B part the plays in B,
if you were able to F5 change to another pattern of the same guitar having the same tone and recorded level it would blend in seamlessly at pattern changes as a virtual instrument guitar would do.
This will give way more control and creativity to the user.
When the bar to bar regenerate is implemented this will be so easy.
BAM! This would go a LONG way toward making it easier to make modern music with BIAB! VARIETY. CHANGES. Styles with more of both.

Pipeline has a solid suggestion here, for variations in RealTracks like those in RealDrums. I love it, for rhythm tracks.

PG Music has set up a method for us to make suggestions for styles. I encourage everyone to use it, and to give specific song examples when you do. Saying things like modern music is anything now on the radio, or music from 2000 on, does not give them what they need to focus on. Meet them halfway and give them a chance by following the procedure they request.

And a man came walking across the desert, clad in sandals and a coarse robe. Square of jaw and tanned from the heat. He carried nothing but a saxophone and a burlap bag full of common sense. They called him the Prophet. Prophet Matthew. Matt for short. And this was the link of which he spoke. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=77&page=1
