Make Interface Great Again! For young people!

As an undercover FBI agent, I would like to propose the following operation plans to prevent BiaB from becoming a victim of the hate crime committed by musicians of the younger generation.

Operation #1 - Codename Ueberschall
In Style Picker, RealTracker Picker, RealDrum Picker, introduce the view of subcategories, like Ueberschall Elastik. Instead of giving people 3000 RealTracks to choose from, give them 429 RealTrack sets, under each set, there are different genres, under each genres, there are different intruments, etc, and the selection process goes from left to right. Of course the old filter system is still gonna work.

Operation #2 - Codename Antares
In Antares AutoTune, there are two tabs on the top, Auto Mode and Graph Mode. User first select a mode, then interface changes to that mode. Instead of jamming 50 buttons into one dialogue box, maybe BiaB should split them into two or three tabs? For example, in Melodist, "Generate Melody Only" in one tab, "Generate Entire Song with Chords" in another tab, with respective & relevant buttons and commands.

Operation #3 - Codename iZotope
For complicated tasks, such as ACW, Molodist, Soloist, introduce step/chain processing interface, like iZotope Ozone/Nectar. A few steps in the order, displayed on the top of screen, under each step, there are only a few commands, so user can focus on one step, get it done, and move to the next step.

Operation #4 - Codename Ujam
Introduce modern graphic to the interface, like any Ujam product. Important action buttons, big with color, round shape, in the middle of screen. Unimportant option buttons, small, square shape, on the side, not to distract.

Operation #5 - Codename Toontrack
Make audio file and MIDI file easy to drag & drop into BiaB, like Toontrack EZdrummer. User can drag a .wav file or .mid file like a song block, to any bar any beat in BiaB, and perfectly aligned to the quantization grid, then can easily copy, move, duplicate the block to other desired positions of the song.

Operation #6 - Codename Native Instruments
Using BiaB should be fun and smart, not tedious and complicated. If BiaB could be as intelligent as Native Instruments Kontakt, with self-explanatory graphic interface, self-explanatory buttons and commands, self-explanatory functionalities and features, without the need of watching a tutorial video.

Operation #7 - Codename Image-Line
"You don't have to teach users how to use all your features, you just need to teach them how to use a few important ones to get things done."
Image-Line FL Studio has one of the most successful YouTube channels in the production community. Why? Because they have many short workflow videos, creating a complete song from scratch, in less than 30 minutes. PG Music should do the same, make more Boot Camp / Workflow type of videos, with real life examples, and a unique YouTube thumbnail (not the generic yellow black on the left, white on the right ones), so viewers can search YouTube and quickly find these special videos.

Conclusion
Millennials and Gen Z musicians love fancy stuff, such as an iPhone, a Gucci handbag, Louis Vuitton sunglasses, Yeezy sneakers, and TikTok.

BiaB already has the top-of-the-line sample library. Imagining if BiaB could consider investing a little money into revolutionize its interface and graphics, advertising itself as the Tesla for futuristic musicians. Guess the young people would desperately rush in to get a proudly BiaB of their own.
