I have purchased PowerTracks before, upgraded to later versions, I think the latest I have is 2010.
Frankly, I have hardly ever used it before. My main sequencer/DAW is Sonar. I am also a long-time BIAB user, and for the last few years I have purchased the Ultra-Paks, with all the RD and RT, and of course RealBand.
When BIAB 2012 came out in December, there was no new version of PowerTracks announced. I assumed it was probably discontinued, replaced by RealBand.
Yet I just received an e-mail announcing PowerTracks 2012
I could purchase an upgrade to it for $29, not much.
Yet I wonder, would I have any use for it? Does PT 2012 have any features not present in RB2012? Would it really make any sense for someone who has BIAB, RB, and Sonar to buy PowerTracks 2012?
Or is PT primarily designed for people who do not have BIAB/RB, do not have another sequencer program, and wish to buy an inexpensive one?

I have been pondering over the same thoughts.
Thanks for your post.

If you just want to record and mix what you actually play yourself; PT is great. If you want some Realrack generation RB is light years ahead.
Depends on your needs. If you already have RB I don't think PT is going to help you .. unless you are using a very old (weak) system. Then the overhead load reduction may help, but that's a slim chance these days.
PT throws in Realdrum generation, but not realtracks, so it is a huge difference in the available options. Maybe Jeff will eventually get back to introducing new features in PT before RB, but for the last couple versions PT has been in more of a 'keeping up with RB' mode; that is, new features added to RB are added to PT when applicable to keep it current.
It is a great deal (price-wise) if it fits your needs. If you have RB though, you have it covered already.
