Add some commercial dance music style, the drum is simple and powerful, and bass is more elastic and jumping.
Suitable for commercial dance music.
For example: commercial dance music, commercial electro, EDM, house, trace, techno, trap, Italy dance
In fact, now band in a box also has some dance music, but it feels different.
I think adding some commercial dance style
This can attract some young people.

The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal".
Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

This kind of drum is very hard. Often a drum and bass can sound very well.
I think it will be very interesting if it is combined with the guitar in BIAB

SBmix.
i listened to your examples. (cept euro wont load here.)
whats the big deal ? these are styles anyone can do who has a midi keyboard and is knowledgeable in midi and samples and synths and plug ins. any daw could be used.
with respect i think you need to spend some time exploring in detail already all the sounds that can be obtained from pg real traks and pg synth and other sounds etc etc and sforzando that can be used in biab and realband. as well as pg midi supertraks.
there are literally thousands of such sounds you can get from real traks alone. without even getting into midi.
zillions of sounds you can edit and chop up after exporting/saveing. everying from A to Z.
probably to do such productions i would use realband with its 48 traks.
start with a basic guide beat, and start from there
building up the song you want useing a midi keyboard and augmenting with plug ins for even more variety.
sorry , but i dont see how one is limited in doing songs in the styles you exampled.
best

I have NEXUS and AVENGER. They can all make this kind of music.
In DAW, I can make these music very well. But I hope to produce a framework faster.
I think if BAND IN A BOX has these, it will make the production faster.
A frame can be completed in 60 seconds.
In addition, the most important thing is BAND IN A BOX, which is not available now.
These music can help band in a box attract the attention of young people. With the attention of young people, BAND IN A BOX will be more energetic.
Only with young people can more people know that BAND IN A BOX is an underrated music software.
BAND IN A BOX should include all forms of music, not only country, folk, JAZZ

From a production point of view, this kind of music structure is not difficult, so the official can quickly make a STYLE
From a business perspective, these music are enjoyed by young people all over the world. If they know that BAND IN A BOX can quickly make a frame, they will pay attention to BAND IN A BOX
An electronic dance music can quickly become popular all over the world. A country music, but difficult.
Do you think young people like electronic dance music more or country music?
I think the answer is yes.
That being the case, BAND IN A BOX, as a music automatic accompaniment software, why not do a good job in this market?
This is just a filling, not a replacement. Country, folk, jazz, you can continue to do it.
Then some electronic dance music, HIPHOP, isn’t it okay?

I'm not sure what you mean by a "frame". If it only takes 60 seconds in Nexus why bother to keep changing programs?

HI
What I said is that it can be completed in 60 seconds in band in a box.
Why do you think it's done in Nexus 60 seconds?
Music frame means drum, bass, chord

SBmix.
re setting up a "frame" in 60 secs in biab.
eg 8 or 16 bar repeating loop.
i can do this in 60 secs in biab.
1. enter/copy chords for the bars.
2. set up number of choruses to repeat. and gen/play.
et bingo.
ps...pipe there are quik ways too in reaps dragging out a premade wav to length needed right ?
.........................................................
BUT THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH PG GIVING US ALL EVERYTHING WE WANT.
please read on.
sbmix..you , and others want lots more modern styles (with demos i assume).
i want a complete orchestral library and more horns and other real trak instruments like your wonderfull
chinese gongs and other instruments. thousands of other pg users want lots of other instruments/styles.
do you see where i'm going with this ?
the CATCH 22 in all of this is DISK SPACE.
if pg were to give us all everything we all want , the disk space needed would be MASSIVE.
also downloading from pg terabytes and terabytes (peta bytes ?) would become a major stumbling block.
this issue was discussed months back includeing comments from pg staff.
thus obviously pg have to make choices. otherwise everything would not fit on the usb disk drives they ship to their user base.
THIS IS A MAJOR LOGISTICAL AND TECHNICAL ISSUE GOING FORWARD.
THUS at some point the user , on any song will have to do his/her custom work.
the biab program just cant include every single style with demos known to the human race.
for example ..i had a recent problem. i was creating my song intergalactic spaceship youll find in the
pg user showcase.
I NEEDED ALIEN SOUNDS for it. BUT i didnt want to use some samples from the net, and thus incur the possibility that someone might say "you used my samples" or some computerised bot comes after me , with all the hassles that entails. SO WHAT TO DO ?
my solution was i CREATED IN MY STUDIO THE SAMPLES FROM SCRATCH USEING MY MOUTH AND MANY MANY ATTEMPTS.
what i'm trying to say, in conclusion, is, no computer music program can do it ALL.
ITS TECHNOLOGICALLY AND LOGISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.
if the user wants certain sounds, the user has to create them ...
ie good old DIY !.
sbmix..its nice that you want a new generation of young people to make songs with biab. I DO TOO !
but it has to be realised automation will only take one so far.
bottom line, as i tell all young people who ask me about doing songs.
SONGS ARE HARD HARD WORK !
best to you.
om
ps...sbmix , in the pg user showcase give a listen sometime to rustyspoons and marios very modern styles.
there are lots of neat sound pictures. and cinematic
examples.

SuperMidiTracks and free VST Electronic Synths, same as some styles will load Direct Input guitars and use Amplitube presets, and midi load Sforzando presets. I think swingbabymix will learn how to make UserTracks and upload many new modern UserTracks for this music  If we could make MidiUserTracks it would help.

justanoldmuso：
Let band in a box do more modern music style, which is definitely not a bad thing.
The value of band in a box lies in various music styles, which can easily complete songs and bring the public the joy of enjoying music.
What you want to say is that let everyone do it by themselves. These people who do it by themselves often don't need band in a box. This is not the scope we need to consider.
If people all over the world make their own music, band in a box has no value.
But it will never happen, because not everyone can master these technologies. But band in a box can help ordinary people finish music quickly, which is a great thing.

sbmix.
something is getting lost in translation.
thats not what i'm saying.
pipe gets what i'm saying.
ie no matter how big the library of biab styles....
someone somewhere will always want a style not in the library.
please reread my post so i dont have to retype it all.
