Look at small print at very bottom of my post, and Matt's posts, and most peoples posts... it's just above "Reply" and "Quote" etc. buttons.
BTW a suggestion: if you start using BIAB and want fast help from forum members it doesn't hurt to at least put PC basic info (operating system, CPU & speed, RAM, HDD size(s) and SPACE left, type/brand of audio and MIDI interfaces', etc.)
And to answer your other question, in your recent post, yes BIAB started as just MIDI until about 2007'ish and like Matt, and more than a few folks here, I've been with BIAB a long time, since V2 for DOS.
Good Luck
Larry

I know I'm late to this discussion.... however.... Midi, sound modules and VST's have their place and in certain kinds of music, are indispensable. However, if you are looking for something that sounds like it was all done by live players, you really need to buy the real tracks and do that as far up the available versions as you can afford. as far as saying real tracks are not as easy to edit.... I find that to be a simple matter of how much time you're willing to put into a project. With a good DAW, you can easily edit one, or multiple tracks. For example, the guitar solo in THE BEST CHRISTMAS is a compilation of edits from 5 of the same guitar track in Real Band's Real Tracks. The cool thing is that none of those 5 tracks, although they are from the same basic RT, are identical. They are audio, as has been pointed out, but with the proper tools and experience, editing audio is as easy as editing midi. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding..... or in this case the songs created by those tracks. More than once, when using the real tracks, I have had other musicians hear a song I did and ask me "who is playing the steel?"... or the fiddle, or the piano....or "what studio in Nashville did you use?" I have never had that occur when I use midi. Never. Have a listen to the song I mentioned and other songs I have created using the RT's in my studio. The Best Christmas>>> http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11971116You can find the other songs in my signature link below. Yep... Buy the Real Tracks and start working with them. You won't regret it.

Thanks for your input I have purchased ultraplus pak and downloading it all just now.
I have listened to your songs and they are brilliant...I did not know either that these were done in biab at first.
Seriously thought studio when I heard some of the guy's and gal's songs.
That is what sold me I am really glad I asked as much as I did on the forum,as I usually jump in head first.
Can I ask ..I am downloading all the files to a spare h/drive...would I then just install biab on my c: drive and leave the files on the spare drive....is that the best way..?

Install BIAB in C:\BB, the default the program uses. Install RealBand in C:\RealBand. You get to choose where you want all your real tracks, real drums, etc. (THE BIG FILES) I save those to D:\BB in my case but you could use H:\BB for you.

I'm currently running the entire program from an external HD. There's an option for an install that puts the minimum on the C drive that's needed to run the program with everything else on an external.... and that's how I have this running.
