Eight of us recently came together as a team and agreed that there was a need to write a White Paper on BiaB.
The kernel of this idea can be found here.
https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=105576&Number=810096#Post810096Our team consisted of:
AudioTrack
Cerio
Gordon Scott
Jpettit
MarioD
Rob Helms
Rustyspoon#
and myself
The purpose of the white paper is twofold. Firstly, to examine BiaB’s current state of development as a computer-assisted music creation tool and secondly, to describe an end-user-centric vision of what we believe Band-in-a-Box ultimately should become.
We would be interested in thoughtful feedback in what we produced.
What did we get wrong?
What did we get right?
What could be improved?
What did we omit?
If you reply, please copy and paste the relevant text for clarity. This will help us understand the specific section of the paper you are referring to. It will also help us better appreciate the point you are making. We plan to update this paper when sufficient changes to the program or in the industry happen.
To anyone interested in joining our humble "think tank", we need motivated individuals with something relevant to say on the subject. The following skills and attributes would be particularly useful to us:
1. Mastery of BiaB
2. Skillful musicianship
3. Project management experience
4. Technical writing and strong English skills (the ability to articulate a vision)
5. Experience with technical graphics
6. Familiarity with other music software tools such as Plugins
7. Understanding of good software design practices and GUI layout
8. AI experience
