It would be REALLY cool if you could program an interface for creating custom real tracks from a users own recorded audio. I presume the interface would need to provide radio buttons for the various parts that are commonly found in a style (intro, transitions, various chordal differences etc) so it would be easy to enter them one at a time until the musician gets it right. It might also provide an audio example of how someone else's style handled that passage.

Also cool would be an audio adaptation of the BIAB feature that creates simple styles from midi songs

That is kind of like Folgers telling you where you can pick your own beans. PG is in the business of making and selling RTs. Maybe though some day, i can see where some would be nice.

wellllll.. here's another way to look at it:

one of the reasons that Microsoft left its competitors in the dust back in the days when there were many upstart companies competing for the same business is because since the very beginning they have bundled some variant of the BASIC programming language with their operating system. Even today VB still exists as the common macro language in all of Microsoft's products.

Their reason for doing this is becasue they understood that when you empower your customers with tools to solve their own problems, the momentum generated by a million small acts of creativity exceeds the momentum generated by one large act of creativity. Customers may abandon whatever product a software giant creates, but they are less likely to abandon what they have created themselves. If you give the people a way to bind their creativity to your product, they will never abandon your product, becasue they will never abandon themselves.

In terms of raw musical creativity, that isn't enough to ensure loyalty. LOTS of programs can process a WAV or a MIDI file or an MP3. But if people are heavily invested in styles they created themselves, they are customers for life. This is an exponential thing, the more styles, the more valuable it is to have RB/BIAB.

How much of a system would the phone be if only 1% of the population had one? Its value is in its pervasiveness. Therefore, an abundance of new styles and real tracks would inherently make RB and BIAB more useful to more people.


Definitely a case of WIN-WIN
