Hello, I've been looking at the update pages for BIAB RB RT &RD, and I'm feeling very confused.

I bought the Everything Pak in January 2009 and have this:

BIAB 2009 (282)
RealBand 2009 (1)
Realdrums 1-20
Realtracks 1-39

If I understand correctly then I should update BIAB to build 287 and update Realband to build 5......???

But I'm completely confused with the Realtracks and RealDrums. The Realtracks seem to be up to 66 now, then 67-82. I thought when I bought the everything pak that I would get all the realtracks and drums that were available. And yet I can't see anywhere that I can download extra realtracks that would match what I've already got (40 onwards for RTs and 21 onwards for RD).

Did these additional tracks all come out last year since January? Am I missing something?

BIAB and Realband are working nice at the moment so I don't want to do the wrong thing and upset the boat. Can anyone clarify the realtrack/drums situation?

Thank you ever so much

You can update the program to the highest level available for your version. And you should, because those updates address and solve known problems.

These updates do not include the RealTracks that are now a part of the BB2010 package, though.

Mel,

2010 with all the new stuff came out just before Christmas. PGMusic still have the Christmas special on offer for upgrades (although you've got to get in before Jan 15). It might be worth considering.

Regards,
Noel

Thanks Mac and Noel,

Yes, I've been having a look through some of the site pages and I think I've got the hang of it now - the RT and RD can be bought separately (looks as though I've Volume 1 etc) - individually to get all of the ones I don't have would cost a fortune which I don't have!

But in the everything pak for 2010 it says ALL realtracks (1-82) and All Realdrums (1-29) which would bring me up to date with everything...

Yes 15th January... I'm flat broke though and wasn't planning to upgrade to 2010 immediately, but it's certainly the only economic way of getting all the realtracks and realdrums (which is all I want really).

Hmmmmm.

I guess I've got 4 days to think it over!

Thanks again

Mel,

Mac will correct me if I'm wrong, but you probably only need the UltraPlusPak as the EverythingPak 2009 that you have should have all the soloists, melodists, styles, etc.

Unless there's a likelihood of import tax in the UK, I'd encourage you to purchase the USB drive version of the UltraPlusPak. This includes everything and you simply install from that; or even install BIAB/RB to run from the USB drive. (Given that there are now 80 gigs of files in BIAB, I decided that it was easier to keep them in a single location rather than on a million DVDs.) The total cost of the USB drive plus international delivery is US($139 + $25 = $154). If you decide on the electronic download option, the UPP upgrade is $139.

It's money really well spent. You'll be rapt.

All the best,
Noel
