Hi:

I am writing from Spain (sorry for my poor english).

I have tried Band in a Box 2008, with only 3 realtracks (saxo, axoustic guitar and pedal steel).

Finally, I have decided to buy my own Band in a Box. I have read I can buy the new Band in a Box 2010, but I have a doubt. What is the real diference of Ultrapak, Everything pak and Audiophilepak.

I want to make music with Band in a Box, and most important to me is the realtracks. I think that the three versions I said have the same realtracks....I must decide to buy Ultrapak....real?

Thanks!

The UltraPak gets you all of the Real Tracks currently offered, using compressed .WMA files. The audiophile version has the original, never-compressed .WAV versions of the same files. They take about 10 times the space, load (regenerate) somewhat faster, and sound, to some users, somewhat better, and are intended to be mixed in commercial projects.

If you could be more specific with your question, we could be more specific with the answers. Good luck with your purchase!

Hello Gonover,

The UltraPlusPAK and the EverythingPAK both have all the currently available RealTracks and RealDrums. Either one of these is an excellent deal, and would take your current count of 3 RealTracks, to close to 400 RealTracks instruments. The difference is that the EverythingPAK also has all of the add-ons listed here:
http://www.pgmusic.com/songsandlessonsPAK.htm

The AudioPhile is like an EverythingPAK, but it has all of the RealTracks audio files in their original uncompressed wave file format. This makes it much larger, and it is shipped on a 1.5 TB hard drive. The compressed files which we normally ship are very good quality, but some people prefer to have the never-compressed files.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
