One interesting development is the addition of the "sort by song" option where a user enters the name of a song and the StylePicker sorts using the song name as a sort term. I'm glad you decided to visit.Īs MusicStudent (Dan) mentioned, the StylePicker has received a lot of attention since 2017 to make it easier for a user to discover styles that line up with their interests. It has been awhile since your +++ original post +++ in 2017. Welcome back to the forum Joseph Cannavo. It just doesn’t work for a subset of us out here.Įdited by Joseph Cannavo ( 10/15/19 04:16 AM) I guess you guys are packaging and parsing BIAB in a way that is most profitable. But I would think others players in other genres could use such focused content. I suppose doing so is not cost effective as there are so many other sorts of musicians you cater too. And there is a community out there of players with a similar need. I listen to everything from Bird to Bach to Tool. we can live without the Celtic Cellos (and not to knock these styles. Why not just have a complete “bebop and beyond” PAC for those of us who play straight ahead. What I don’t get is why in addition to the endless options from mega to ultra to whatever style packs, you don’t just organize options around genre. the bottom line is that I would love to use BIAB again, and recommend it to all my students, but they all just go with Ireal. (Hello have you ever gone to Berklee and seen how many omnibooks are in use?). Once I was just trying to understand how to pare down to straight ahead bebop/post bop styles (think every thing from Bird up through Chris Potter) in creating tracks, and had to deal with people arguing with me about how Bebop, Hard bop and post bop are not modern jazz. And then when you try to get help on the forums there is this attitude thing. But to have to sort through everything from Celtic Cello styles to Chicken Picken guitar is just too much to bother with. This is a shame because BIAB is powerful enough to create far more Realistic tacks. Both here in Denver and back in NYC the dozens and dozens of horn players I know mostly use IReal book for backing tracks. The problem with BIAB (I used it extensively about 20 years ago) is its simply become too complex too comprehensive for many (I didn’t say “all”) straight ahead Jazz musicians to bother with.
