Matt,

Thanks. Do you have the audiophile version then, that you use for your CDs?




Glenn, yes, I have had the audiophile edition almost from the beginning of RealTracks, as soon as they were made available as an option. After paying once, the update price has been more than fair to keep up. You still get the .WMA versions of files (although you can delete them to save space) along with the .WAV versions, and BIAB knows to use the .WAV files if present. With version 2011, the quality difference between .WMA and .WAV is less than it used to be.

I use BIAB extensively to produce composer's demos, before a concert or studio session. However, my CD, and other CDs for which I used BIAB to prepare, are still recorded by live musicians in the studio. Time is money, though, and I come to a studio very well prepared as a result of using BIAB for composing and arranging.
