Good Lord, pity the "modern" composer of 100 years ago who was taught that serialism had rendered everything else obsolete. Let's talk about specific things right now. First: How many people in the world now open YouTube in the morning to find a song from 100 years ago. Second: If you see a song from 100 years ago being played at an event, and young people dancing to the music from 100 years ago, are you happy or sad? Third: Even if few people listen, it cannot shake the value of music 100 years ago. We do not deny the past, but we must also pay attention to the present. Otherwise, how can we progress. It's a good thing to find problems, solve them, and let more people use them. Did you notice the word "serialism"? Do you know what it refers to? Do you understand why I might mention serialism in connection with idea of progress in music?

I think the purpose of communication is to solve problems. The purpose of communication is to make things better. The purpose of communication is not to express emotions. The purpose of communication is not to pick words. It's really not possible, please don't reply to the messages I post in the future. Because you always take the problem emotionally.

nice！ This song is still not the same as the ones I posted. Also, this song has no guitar. If I use EZKEY, it can also be done very quickly. It's not actually a new song or an old song. This song is old, but I feel modern.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi_XLOBDo_Y

I don't feel the humor in this kind of text exchange. But I have a vague sense that you are very good at sarcasm and ridicule. As long as it makes you smile, I think that's a good thing. Being happy is important. However, for the future development of BIAB, I don't think it makes sense.

It was supposed to be a joke, sorry if you think otherwise. As you said, "Being happy is important." I wish same to you. No worries, I will refrain from replying to posts that you start. Take care.

Pipeline: I like you in this forum. You can answer questions carefully every time, and the answers are so accurate. I have these styles. Artist Performance Set 11 - Songs with Vocals volume 1 Artist Performance Set 12 - Songs with Vocals volume 2 However, these song demos are all online listening, so I open very slowly. Often can't hear the DEMO I asked before, why do you want to listen to DEMO online. I am very slow to open the PGMUSIC website and the PGMUSIC forum here. I don't know if there is a way to turn DEMO into local playback

My purpose is clear. Just wish to see more modern styles from BIAB. It doesn't need to be complicated, it's simple. More suitable for modern rap and dance music. This is what I want to express. This Michael Jackson song is old, but it fits with modern songs, so I like it too. Even if an ordinary person did this rhythm, I would love it. All I care about is the style of the song.

I have to find some way that works for me. Step 1: Use BIAB to try different chords to inspire me to sing. Step 2: Use NEXUS and AVENGER to make music more modern. If I want to do it all in BIAB, at least not for now.

EXPERT status is awarded, over time and amongst other things, for consistent assistance, exemplary use and regular posting. It is also awarded, quickly, for persistent posting, frequent inanities and the inability to use the manual.
Popular music is a matter of fashion then habit.
POP music is a matter of popularity on the one hand and a certain style relating to an era in history on the other.
Popular music frequently moves with technological innovation &/or heavy promotion.
BIAB midi can be used to play other samples - perceiving crippling limitations so early on in a person's experience with a musical thing suggests more about the person than the thing.
The currently over exuberant "youth" will, soon enough, be, in all likelihood, stuck in a doof doof rut built on a combination or familiarity, exposure, nostalgia and personal taste.
As Elvis Costello, (remember when he was the aggressive, hand biting leading edge of New Wave), wrote & sang:
"History repeats the old conceits
The glib replies the same defeats
Keep your finger on important issues
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues
I'm just the oily slick
On the windup world of the nervous tick
In a very fashionable hovel
I hang around dying to be tortured
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel
So in this almost empty gin palace
Through a two-way looking glass
You see your Alice" Maybe it's not that complicated, it's just a matter of song style. These are two old songs that I like both. But I will feel that this song will be modern and my favorite song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_izvAbhExYIt's good too, but I feel a little old https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpqqjU7u5YcBecause I don't understand the lyrics at all, I'm just speaking from the feel. I prefer Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive  a) Touche' b) old proverb...if you put the right bait on the hook and cast the line into a populated water course, the fish will come.

old proverb... if you put the right bait on the hook and cast the line into a populated water course, the fish will come. This is funny... I popped that into Google to see if it could identify the proverb you're talking about, and Google replied Did you mean: if you put the right bait on the hook and cast the line into a polluted water course, the fish will come?

First: How many people in the world now open YouTube in the morning to find a song from 100 years ago. Actually I do that quite often, though I'll likely look for much more recent versions of it, if only because the recording quality is better. Neither this song nor this version is to my taste, but... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5JvkID7EtIIt was written in 1926.
