I'll bet they came to realize that the hobbyist and semi-pro were the main source of their income and when many/most said they would not subscribe forced their decision. PS - I would fire their CFO. He probably didn't do this in a vacuum. I am sure everyone bought in. I can't believe they didn't do just a little research of their customer base before doing this though. They probably just looked at some successful subscription models out there and thought, hey here is a way to get a predictable income stream etc. Glad they listened. Backlash was fast and furious, even if it was a vocal "minority" which I am not saying it was, but, even if it was, it got a reaction. My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Since AI is now readily available online as a resource for many things, we recently put together and shared a video where we demonstrated how to create a song using Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V; we've also shared a Bob Doyle Media video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band in A Box, showing how they utilize AI for their song projects. Now it's time to share Henry's video, Band-in-a-Box + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!, where he demonstrates how to use ChatGPT and Band-in-a-Box to whip a song project together in only 3-4 hours.
