You can order the Band-in-a-Box 2010 packages here :
http://www.pgmusic.com/bandbox.htm

There's a video to watch, on this page http://www.pgmusic.com/win.htm (click on the link that says video on that page)


The information below describes the packages. If you get the UltraPAKPlus, you get all MIDI styles , all RealTracks and all RealDrums, so


With the release of Band-in-a-Box 2010, there are 3 main packages:
Pro, Mega, and UltraPlus packages. The UltraPlus includes ALL Realtracks (370), all RealDrums (200+) and all MIDI Styles (1700) . The Mega includes all MIDI styles (1700), and many RealTracks (40) and RealDrums (20+) . The Pro includes some MIDI styles(200+), some Realtracks (12) and some RealDrums(10+).


1. The UltraPlus is the best package, and includes all Realtracks (370+), all RealDrums (200+) and all MIDI styles (1700+) . This package is very large (80GB), and comes pre-installed on an included 160GB USB hard drive. (it is also available on DVD, but this is a 20 DVD package which would take a long time to install.) Note: We also have an EverythingPAK (Hard Drive), that is the same as the UltraPlus PAK HardDrive, with an additional package called Songs And Lessons Pak.
2. The MegaPAK is the next best package. It includes 40 RealTracks (of 70 available) grouped into 10 RealCombos* (RealCombos are a ‘band’ of RealTracks in the same style) . It also includes 30+ additional RealDrum styles (in 7 sets). The MegaPAK includes all of the styles. Available on DVD.
3. The ProPak is the basic package. It includes 12 realTracks, grouped into 3 RealCombos* (“bands”) and also includes 1 additional RealDrums set and 200 MIDI Styles. Available on DVD (or CD if requested).

- All Band-in-a-Box 2010 packages also include RealBand 2010.

*What are RealCombos? “RealCombos” are a ‘band’ of RealTracks and RealDrums in the same style. For example, the Jazz Swing 140 RealCombo includes 5 RealInstruments (Bass, Piano, Guitar, Sax, and Drums) that play Swing in Medium swing tempo.

So what are we to do if if we want say RealPak Rock 3 and the updates to the programs. It sure looks like to me that the MegaPak does not contain any new RealTracks. At least not from their descriptions. I apologize if I seem dense..

Yes I have "the lot" of 2009.5. So what do I need to get the updated "lot" for 2010 that includes the update for B&B and RB programs.??

Hello,

We've added a description of the "Combo's" to this page (below the chart)
http://www.pgmusic.com/bandbox.htm

With the MegaPAK you would get 40 RealTracks, enough so that you can have a full RealTracks band for each of the styles mentioned there (e.g. for the SmoothCool Jazz 100 you would have Smooth Jazz Bass, Electric Piano, and Drums at a tempo of 100). It's still only a fraction of the near 400 that are included in the UltraPlusPAK. The UltraPlusPAK upgrade from 2009 versions is $139. To get ALL of the RealTracks not included in the MegaPAK, you would either getting the UltraPlus or EverythingPAK.


EDIT - oh, we must have posted at the same time...

I know this question must get asked everytime there is a new release. So, why stop now? I had just purchased 2009.5 last month. Is there any provision for those of us who had just purchased the 2009.5 version as it pertains to the 2010 version?

Yes that was my question as well. I'm not certain but it appears that many of the existing 2009.5 realtracks etc have been replaced with new ones (although this is not evident from the write ups) as opposed to additional files only.
In my case I already having the "the Lot" in 2009.5. So I have updated with the UltraPluspak at $139 on a 160GB disc which should update and add to my existing system files. (I hope!).

I am still not certain what the Audophile version is all about though.

Cheers. F

Yes, the UltraPlusPak is ideal in this situation. All of the new realTracks are *additional*, and don't replace the existing ones.

Yes, there is a "customer protection" provision for this, for orders placed within 30 days of a new release. Please contact sales@pgmusic.com or phone 800-268-6272, and they should be able to look after it.

Dear Peter,

Would you possibly be able to reveal the price for the UltraPlusPak after 12/31/09???

$139 might not seem much for some, but for others (like me) it is at this time.

Much appreciated and looking forward to upgrade from 2009.5 !!!

Cheers,
Mike

Many thanks Peter. Those new piano styles are wonderful, and I notice a little injection of one of the four lads from Liverpool styles as well! Great. This will go very nicely with the FF package including the B&B and RB "plug-in" option and my copy of Sonar 8.
Those smooth jazz tracks are also simply outstanding.
Looking forward to receiving my disc. Best wishes for the season to you and staff.

Never mind, Dr. Peter Gannon .. I could not resist. Stretching out the credit card a bit, but, hey - what are credit ratings these days anyway! LOL!

PS: Ordered the HD ... and am downloading just the necessities to get BIAB 2010 running

Thanks for the additional explanations. I had sent an email to sales@pgmusic.com regarding which package to purchase. I decided on the Megapak upgrade package. I tried to order it online but it says I need a password. I have a password but I guess it's just for the Forums. Instead of registering, some sites let you purchase as a "Guest". Even though I may be a regular customer, I would rather purchase as a Guest rather than have to fuss around with another password. I did ask for a password by email but maybe I don't even have one for them to mail back. I'm going to try one more time so see if I missed something obvious in your purchase process.

Oops! Sorry, I just had not scrolled down far enough on the screen to see that you can buy without registering. Yes, I did miss something very obvious. Gotta slow down and now practice for some more Christmas gigs.

Thanks Peter. I will check my files when I get home to see if it falls within the date range. While I have your eye, I want to send a kudos to you for this product. I have been really enjoying the learning curve and am actually beginning to compose using both Real Band and BIAB.

RickG, if your situation happens to be a few days or so "on the wrong side" -- I'd still call 'em up anyway and ask for their good graces on this.

I'm sorry, but I still don't understand quite what's going on here.

I already have styles 1-77, soloist sets 1-20, RealDrums 1-26, and RealTracks 1-66. So I think that in addition to BIAB and RealBand 2010, I need only RealTracks 67-82 and RealDrums 27-29. Indeed, your home page says exactly that. However, when I click through the "Learn more..." link, I can't find any place where I can order those particular options.

What am I missing?

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!

Band-in-a-Box 2026 for Mac is Here!

Band-in-a-Box® 2026 for Mac is here and it is packed with major new features! There’s a new modern look, a GUI redesign to all areas of the program including toolbars, windows, workflow and more. There’s a Multi-view layout for organizing multiple windows. A standout addition is the powerful AI-Notes feature, which uses AI neural-net technology to transcribe polyphonic audio into MIDI—entire mixes or individual instruments—making it easy to study, view, and play parts from any song. And that’s just the beginning—there are over 100 new features in this exciting release.

Along with version 2026, we've released an incredible lineup of new content! There's 202 new RealTracks, brand-new RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, “Songs with Vocals” Artist Performance Sets, Playable RealTracks Set 5, two new RealDrums Stems sets, XPro Styles PAK 10, Xtra Styles PAK 21, and much more!
