What significant need is missing?


<2..what IS modern music ? >

It's massive. So is BIAB and it's associated programs.

<3..how do the makers of modern sample libraries and plugins address the modern song creation market niche ? and how do they deal with customers that might have slow net services re massive sample libs ? >

My guess is they deal with customers with specific issues regarding PC specs, speed and storage similar to PG Music.


< 4..the pg styles wishlist. i notice when a user asks for a certain style or sound that pg respond with 'please give examples'. >

There are more than 10,000 styles currently. Each and every one of them is 100% user modifiable. BIAB offers a Style Creator, UserTrack template, and Loops creator programs for users seeking a certain style or sound. Styles and UserTracks are there precisely for these type of specific needs.

< 5..given the above ...and breadth of the modern songs creation market its obvious no matter what pg tries to do some segments of the market will feel left out and cheesed off and will come on these forums and say... >

True. But we users and PG staff can point out the dozens and dozens of song creation content features and leave it up to potential customers to decide if BIAB and it subordinate programs will help them in their song creation journey. Pro-Tools is the professional industry standard and holds the largest share of the professional market but not every pro uses Pro-Tools, nor every hobbyist or amateur song creator/producer/engineer.

< 6..the ballooning content and features with no good solution conundrum.
i'd like a buck for each time i faced this in industry...i'd be rich... >

We don't know that you aren't rich. It's inconsequential to the subject and as users, we're no more responsible for your wealth than we are for the development of PG Music products.

The ballooning content and features conundrum does have viable solutions but they're not discussed and are discounted by a small but vocal group of forum members that see solutions in the image of IT and coding experience in relation to DAW experience.

Referencing the 'White Paper', the three essential / pre-requisite goals that are named are: Bugs & underdeveloped features fixed, redundancy gone and significant workflow enhancements which includes UI (BIAB and PLUGIN).

Understanding that BIAB is an audio accompaniment/arrangement program, it's notable to point out there's nothing in the 'White Paper' that's pre-source audio generation material. Everything is post-source as far as I can determine taking a quick review of the hundred or so posts. The attached screen shot demonstrates the huge increase in posts when using the program as an audio accompaniment/arrangement program. It's also noteworthy there's little if any discussion in the User Showcase of the difficulty and complexity of BIAB interfering with users ability to create songs with the program.
