I wonder if it is appropriate to mention NI here? However, in order to make BIAB more popular, I think I can be forgiven.
In NI's expansion pack, I can always hear better drums, timbres, more modern and fashionable.

So, can BIAB launch a series of more modern REALTRACKS? Even if it is more expensive, I will buy it.

Because NI can't easily input and change chords.
But BIAB can change chords and become its own music.
If BIAB produces some new timbres, such as NI expansion, it will be better.
BIAB can start from HIPHOP and DANCE

My problem with your suggestion is everyone can define better differently. Myself or others might not agree Native Instrument expansion packs sound better than Band-in-a-Box RealTracks or RealDrums.

Perhaps if you compared specific NI patches available in an expansion pack you like to specific RealTracks or RealDrums that you presently use it would be easier to understand your suggestion.

Here is a made-up example of what I mean: Match the synth loops and drum kits of NI's +++ Meteoric Rise +++ expansion pack against RealTrack Bass Synth ModernDancePopA-B Ev 120 and RealDrums FunkDisco Ev 8 85 - 130 BPM. This should help PG Music identify what you like.

Links to specific NI expansion packs that offer the sounds you want would be helpful.

However, I prefer BIAB to change chords more conveniently.
If BIAB makes some more modern expansion packs, I will buy them at the first time.

I think BIAB can make some more modern expansion. It can be more expensive. As long as the voice is more modern, BIAB will still be purchased and used.

Cool feeling

This is more applicable to Band-in-a-Box MIDI styles & MIDI Supertracks, rather than RealTracks. And of course, you CAN use all of those Native Instrument sounds right in Band-in-a-Box simply by loading that plugin in BB.

If BIAB launched some modern instruments and drum sounds, it would be faster.

+1 to this. I still don't fully understand how to get BIAB to understand multi-timbral plugins, to make the MIDI Styles and MIDI Supertracks to not sound atrocious. It seems like MIDI is more powerful overall (with the exception of the RealStyles' Soloists (guitarists and horn players, primarily) but... I just don't understand how to make things sound 2023, instead of 1991.
