Band-in-a-Box 2022 ist da, und die neuen Programm-Features wie zum Beispiel - und vor allem - die Möglichkeit, nun statt nur einem vier Akkorde pro Beat einsetzen zu können (!), lassen mich seit ein par Stunden erwägen, doch schon jetzt und nicht, wie ich eigentlich geplant hatte, erst nächstes oder gar übernächstes Jahr mein zweites PlusPak zu erwerben. Frage an die "alten Hasen" zu den Bestelloptionen: Mein erstes PlusPak hatte ich damals (2016) über M3C bestellt; ebenso wie zuletzt das 2021er MegaPak. Doch ich glaub, diesmal kann ich nicht so lange warten.  Daher: Welche Bezahloptionen gibt es, wenn man weder eine Kreditkarte noch Paypal noch ein Konto beim amerikanischen Amazon hat - bzw. geht das dann überhaupt...? Oder sollte ich auch generell doch lieber noch ein paar Wochen (?) warten, weil das letztlich günstiger wäre? Ich peile das UltraPak Upgrade from 2020 or earlier, or crossgrade für aktuell 169$ an, denn mir scheint, dass ich dafür am meisten bekomme - "Audiophile" ist mir ebenso zu teuer wie die seperaten Bonus-Paks, und der einzige Unterschied zum UltraPak+ ist doch, dass bei Letzterem noch die ganzen Midi-Extras bei sind, oder? Die 25$ zusätzlich für das UtraPak auf Festplatte wäre ich bereit zu zahlen, weil die hiesige Internetverbindung recht unstet und manchmal superlahm ist und weil ich das Programm gerne wieder, wie früher, von Platte aus starten würde.

Hallo Thorsten.
Die neuen Features sind wirklich ein echter Zugewinn, nicht nur die MicroChords sondern auch die Motif-Funktion, mit der sich rhythmische Figuren der Begleitung steuern lassen. Das ist Klasse!
Eine weitere Super-Sache ist nun, dass du auch Noten der RealTrack-Spuren modifizieren und ergänzen kannst (so wie bislang bei MIDI-Spuren).
Ich bin selbst noch am Checken und Ausprobieren der vielen neuen Funktionen! Alle Spuren sind jetzt im Grunde gleichwertig.
Der Unterschied zwischen UltraPAK und UltraPAK+ besteht nur in der Zugabe von Song- und Lessondateien. Die sind gut, aber du hast dafür womöglich keinen Bedarf bzw. ncoh frühere Versionen davon auf deiner HD.
Zur Bestellung: Bei der Harddisk-Option kann es dir passieren, dass du für die HD Einfurhzoll (neben der Einfuhrumsatzsteuer) entrichten musst.
Biab/RB latest build, German Language Pak, Win 10/64 Pro, 1 TB SSD, 32 GB RAM. Notation SW Finale, StaffPad, SmartsScore – Playing Double Bass, Guitar, Piano

Vielen Dank an Martin und Brille! Eine weitere Super-Sache ist nun, dass du auch Noten der RealTrack-Spuren modifizieren und ergänzen kannst (so wie bislang bei MIDI-Spuren). Whoa, stimmt - das ist ein weiteres "Killer-Feature"; wie oft hab ich mir genau das in bestimmten Situationen gewünscht!  Der Unterschied zwischen UltraPAK und UltraPAK+ besteht nur in der Zugabe von Song- und Lessondateien. Die sind gut, aber du hast dafür womöglich keinen Bedarf bzw. ncoh frühere Versionen davon auf deiner HD. Jo, auf meiner 2016er-HD - und ehrlich gesagt, das hab ich nie genutzt... Zur Bestellung: Bei der Harddisk-Option kann es dir passieren, dass du für die HD Einfurhzoll (neben der Einfuhrumsatzsteuer) entrichten musst. Ein Grund mehr, doch lieber ein paar Tage zu warten. Inzwischen hab ich von M3C auch die Information, dass ich dort wohl in etwa 10 Tagen bestellen könne - ich denke, so lange halt ich's noch aus. ^^ Zumal es bis dahin ja vielleicht auch erste Tutorial-Videos für die tollen neuen Feautures gibt.

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.

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.

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.
