You make some good points. In the paper we tried to touch on the kinds of users that BiaB must attract to remain viable. The existing advanced and novice BiaB users, Gen Z and Gen Alpha, and the folks captured in the 4 quadrants of the plot. In other words, cast the net far and wide. It didn't ocurr to us to create a dedicated section that speaks to this.

I'm not well acquainted with contemporary music, but it doesn't seem a niche that BiaB is well-suited to fill. My oldest son is the only one interested in creating his own music, and he shows zero interest in using BiaB. Then again, he's not really into computer-based music creation, preferring to record live instruments.

It sounds like your son is somewhere on the y-axis where the true "traditionalists" live. More power to him; I'm roughly 60% with him. If that "demographic" is large it might benefit PGM to figure out how to effectively target that group.

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
