Seems I'm the first on the forum to announce it!
(except for MikeK on ShoutBox)

Now for the delivery wait ...should be a couple of weeks if I'm lucky?

You guys in the USA have no idea how lucky you are to live in a first world country!!

I'm on a 4mb ADSL line , I read about 100mb download speeds over there....we are only dreaming of that ...


I'm doing allright for Country Trash ....

Ooops, I held off buying 2014 waiting for the discounts on 2015 but first time purchases aren't discounted frown

Am I correct is saying that the EverythingPak special upgrade price of $159 is only for people who have the 2014 EverythingPak or would it also apply to 2014 Pro owners? If the latter then I will try and find someone selling a boxed 2014 Pro pack (there must be some on shelves somewhere) so that I can then upgrade it.

Just downloaded 2015 but can't get the real tracks to install. All of them give similar error messages:

An error occurred while copying a file:
The source file is corrupted

Downloading again doesn't help. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Philip,

Occasionally, files don't transfer properly over the internet. That happens with the PG Music downloads from time to time, too.

What are you using to download?

Regards,
Noel

Receder,

It might be that PG Music have not yet settled on special prices for first time purchasers. While history is not a guarantee, in the past, there have been special deals across the board.

Also, the $159 updgrade is from Everything Pak 2014 to Everything Pak 2015 (as I understand it at least). I'm not a PG Music employee, though.

Lastly, the UltraPlusPak also has all Realtracks, Realdrums, styles, etc. From reading the forums, that's probably one of the most popular packages.

Regards,
Noel

P.S. There's nothing to stop you writing to sales@pgmusic.com and asking if there will be special deals for first time purchasers of 2015. Sales staff don't involve themselves in the users' forums so it's unlikely that they'll respond to your question. PG Music are a very honourable company and they will answer your questions honestly.

Hi Noel,

Thanks for responding. I'm using Chrome to download the files. All the other files (like the Pluspack) download and install fine. Only the RealPack files have this problem, even after downloading them again. Seems to me something is wrong with the source files, not the download process.

Also tried to download with IE but then somehow my serial number isn't recogized.

Sent a mail to support, hopefully they can tell me what to do.

Cheers

Philip

Looks to me like $179 lets you upgrade from any version to the EverthingPak .. but I'd ask PGMusic.
"Upgrade from 2012 or earlier or crossgrade"

A little confused here.

I do have the 2014 ultrapak and wonder would the 2015 Plus pak at 99$ gave me all the extra stuff I need?

Maybe?

Me too Rharv. Don't see it mentioned anywhere! Is this an add-on or is it embedded in 2015?

I believe it is an add-on. Maybe they haven't got it set up for sale yet.
The advert says-
"We’ve added direct support for 64-bit VST plugins (using jBridge available from us for only $10 during the special)"

They're probably swamped with orders right now .. smile
I'm trying to be patient.
I even tried going through checkout to see if it was offered along the way but not as far as I can see so far.

BIAB 2015 was just released at midnight last night (eastern) so as rharv says, they are swamped. Give things some time to settle. For downloads, make sure you have a download manager to avoid having to start again if your download is interrupted.

To Philip:
This often happens to Realtracks, solution might be to "clear the cache" (got that tip from PG). Restart your browser after clearing and give it another go. That has been the solution for me on the last 2 RT downloads.

I've had a few corrupt downloads (RealTracks)that I needed to re-download. Some of the RTs, though have 1-4 corrupt content (WMA) files which I suspect will be fixed sometime soon.

Noel, Many thanks for the information and suggestions. I will do what you suggest as it's got to be worth a try.
I was kind of hoping that the upgrade price would be from any version of BIAB 2014 but I guess that would not make sense i.e. people who had bought Pro 2014 would be paying the same to upgrade as those who had spent a lot more on UltraPlusPak 2014.

Thanks rharv, I see what you mean. So pay 129$ for Pro then crossgrade to either UltraPlusPak for 159$ or EverythingPak for 179$. I will also check this with PGM.

Hi Soolan,

Thanks for the tip. Definitely worth a try, but alas, still the same problem. Many other people now report the same problem in another thread, so I'm getting more and more convinced that the RT files on the PG Music servers are indeed corrupt and it's not the download process that causes the problems.

Hope they fix it soon

Philip
