Usually studio players have such good ears, they can hear it and copy it pretty easily, especially where its not buried on a mix and hard to hear.

The ultimate in software would be something semi intelligent. Tap in your melody, and it will create a variation of that based on algorithms. It seems fairly easy enough to do considering whats already been done. And I think it be a game changer for BIAB users especially.

How many times do I listen to a BIAB demo, and get so disconnected to the actual song because the intro not only doesnt pull me in, but often pulls me away. Its subtle, but playing a generic lead in to a specific melody weakens the focus of the song. Its like ok, what a waste of thirty seconds that was. Then they sing, and out of left field comes a supporting melody that is not very supporting, although it will fit in the key.

Its all about keeping the listener engaged.

Think of the intros to Desperado, Hotel California, Or ballads like Sometimes when we Touch, Your Song, not the same melody as the vocal, but a variation of it. I think it can create decent groove oriented riffs, ba dada da, ba dada da, in a rhtymic pattern, where then the bass and drums lock into it.

Funny I sang this at a company picnic many moon years ago. I was workin in the mail room of this big company, word got out I played and sang, I showed up with guitar and sang right in front of the president. He didnt make one face thrugh it all, but afterwords gave me a pat on the back, "just fantastic he says" lol. Im like you were listening?

Great tune, that descending bass line in the chorus would not be made by BIAB either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVf940pO5ME
