Noticed that build 506 improves some Oohs and Aahs RealTracks. Will this build replace the uncompressed audiophile RealTracks with (improved) compressed ones? Just curious. Really like the 2018 release...

That’s a good question.
From past practice, No. An update would affect only the WMA compressed files unless it is identified as an update for the audiophile version, or for both. PG Music typically takes an extra day or two to release an audiophile version update.
The ‘regular’ update wouldn’t actually do anything useful to your audiophile version anyway. If a WAV file is present, BIAB loads that. Only if there is no WAV file will BIAB load, uncompress and then use a WMA file, updated though it may be. The audiophile edition contains matching WMA files for each WAV file, but the WMA files aren’t used.
I will alert the developers to your question. In any event, I will know the answer tonight; my audiophile drive is on the UPS truck for delivery today! I can check what the patch does.

Hello Matt... New Audiophile owner/user here... Are the Audiophile updates you mentioned above announced/posted here in the BIAB Windows folder? I ask because I don't recall ever seeing a strictly Audiophile update link published here - but then again I've never had the Audiophile Edition before and may well have just skimmed past any Audiophile update links.
just an old analog dog tryin' to learn new tricks...

Really like the 2018 release... Typically if there is only a few RealTracks or RealDrums being updated both the uncompressed and compressed files are included in the update, if it's a major update there is a separate Realtrack update file for each. In this case it looks like the update to the Realtracks is minimal enough to warrant only one update file. You can easily check by applying the update and then searching for WMA files in your Realtrack Directory, you should only see them in the Demo directories if you have the Audiophile version.

Rosion, I agree generally with your first paragraph but not the second. May I suggest you read through the article I wrote on this subject. It’s in the Tips and Tricks Forum, here: http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=378939#Post378939

After running the 506 update, it doesn't appear that any of my audiophile "vocal" RealTracks were updated. The latest vocal files are dated 12/1/2017, as are many other RealTrack files. I have a combination of WAV, WMA and MP4 files in my RealTracks folders. Don't think it makes a difference, but I'm running the audiophile RealTracks from the BiaB hard drive at the moment.

We don’t know if the patch even affects the audio files, or if it was improved by other means.

It looks like there is only one RealTrack/RealDrums file that is added in build 506 it's a RealDrums file called WashboardBluegrass^_110_Style.wma or WashboardBluegrass^_110_Style.wav, the remaining audio files that are updated are demo files for the various new styles.

The patch is for any Band-in-a-Box 2018 version, 'audiophile' or not. If there were any wave file updates needed, those would be included as well. I think there was only one wave file to update. The Vocal fixes were ST2 fixes, audio files didn't change.
