Beginning audio production users likely are not familiar with the PG Music suite of DX audio effects. Even many current Band-in-a-Box users such as myself likely rely on the audio production PG Music provides in each style and have not attempted to use effects.
It would be nice to have a video that explains how the four effect boxes on each track interact and works together. A simple block diagram would likely be sufficient. The explanation should also detail if effect use is destructive to existing audio.
Then the video should demonstrate each effect in use with an emphasis on how each effect control modifies the audio.
Finally the video can conclude with a demonstration of how the right click on track command, "Load Group" can be used to load multiple effects and create a "signal Chain".
By the way, I got this idea after watching the 2023 BiaB Bootcamp 1 video and seeing and hearing the Tremolo effect in use. I suspect with the introduction of the real time audio input monitoring feature users will want to use the included PG Music DX effects.
No according to page 41 of the 2024 BiaB for Mac user manual.

Clicking on a slot opens the Plugins dialog, which allows you to select a VST/AU synthesizer and/or audio effects.
Unfortunately, the 2024 Mac user manual does not list any PG Music plugins.
My guess is there is an expectation Mac users will use the effect packages included with GarageBand, Logic Pro, Cubase or other DAW products that work on Mac operating systems.
Information you may not know. DX, also called Direct X, is a component of a Microsoft operating system specification. Knowing that, it kind of makes sense that the plugins are not available on a Mac. The Mac only equivalent is the Audio Unit or AU for short.
