so essentially what we are talking about is cutting out a

vids on you tube. ie dragging samples onto a timeline.
which, yes is time consuming.

therefore why not lets go a step further, as follows
(useing arty intelligence in computer software)....
ie..a true instant coffee , minimal work solution.

1. have biab scan the net for the new hot contemporary
pop songwriters and analyse their song styles.
2. then when a user cliks a button called CREATE A HOT NEW SONG, the user fills in the following fields.
a. the name of the songwriter to be emulated.
b. tempo and key maybe ? then...
c. the user cliks a button titled GIMME A HIT SONG.

then biab accesses on the net data bases of samples
and presents the user with a finished song.
if the user dont like it, rinse and repeat till
user is happy.
is this the way people will create songs in the future.
ie minimal effort ?
many people in the past few years pipe have said too many youngsters dont want to put effort in. a popular lament with hiring managers. i dunno how true that is, but, is there a mentality out there ie i'll get the recording gear on a friday, clik a few buttons on a saturday and create a few hits, load up on the net on sunday..and by tuesday i'll be rich and rolling in loyalties.
i dunno....i think i prefer a bit of heartache and work
and things i can control in my song creation efforts.
warts and all.

maybe , in closing mate, what the debate should be...
is about 'how far do users want automation // AI to go in the song creation process.' ? i see this as the real issue for debate.

BIAB search for online songs? Is it necessary for a music software to do such huge data?
Don't you use Google or YouTube
Then, in the next step, BIAB can only be used after network verification??
The reason why BIAB is still popular is convenience. At present, the problem is that the timbre focuses on traditional musical instruments, such as drum, guitar, piano and bass
As long as the timbre is added to some modern timbre, it will be very good.
If you add too many web search functions, BIAB will only go astray and make this simple software more unpopular.
As long as a music software is closely connected with the network, it will not survive for long.
Many people make music, they are off the Internet!
