Forgive me for asking where I might find a link to the RealBand 2010 User manual but my 19.2 kbps dialup connection severely hampers my ability to search for it.
I have BIAB/RealBand Ultra 2010 on USB HD but the user manual included is for 2009.5.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may provide.

Seventy hits on this thread and no reply.
Does this mean there is not a newer user manual?

I don't think it's available here. (I looked for it before I bought BIAB, b/c I thought it would help me determine whether to buy or not.)
I eventually purchased BIAB 2010 (MegaPak download version), and the PDF files are part of the install. Look in the main BB folder.

RealBand does not ship with a 2010 PDF manual. There is the 2009.5 manual (as you've already found). The only other thing I can offer is to check the help file, where it discusses new features of 2010. Of course, the 2009.5 manual should get you 95% there. We can get you the rest of the way on the forum.

Thanks for the info. I just wanted to be as up to date as possible with the software. I'll spend more time with the help files. And yes, the people on this forum are a great resource.
I have been using BIAB for a while now but only recently started to tinker around with RB. My initial experience with it was less than stellar until I started to read about it and watch the videos. I can see where my work flow will be more productive using BIAB together with RB and Sonar.
Thanks.

Keebo,
As I stated on another thread, BIAB 2010 will be available in spiral bound printed format, from PG Music, in a month or so for $10.

I agree, studying the manual in bed is much more productive that reading a .pdf file from a PC screen.
