song generation is done on-the-fly on PG Music cloud servers. audio stems are streamed to BIAB client in real-time and routed through the mixer just like before.

Interesting ideas that are based on fast internet access that is consistent.
I prefer to work on a computer that isn't linked to the internet at all. I've had to start from scratch too many times due to viruses and other corruption that came down the line so don't & won't work online.
Your suggestion would also open the way for PG to make BIAB subscription based - another thing I, personally, won't countenance. I stayed with the BIAB 2011 set up for quite a few years and only changed to a more recent model when my needs changed.
Cloud storage etc is very modern, very much a marketing dream for some companies and very, very BAD for the environment. Check out the BBC Panorama investigation into the water & electricity use and heat given off by the clouds actuality ie: HUGE data storage units on the ground.
PANORAMA Cloud
Food for thought indeed.
