a) - buy wife flowers in order to get approval to purchase the more robust version
or, you could go the "MANLY MAN" route (AKA "big ol' dummy"), and put her over your knee for a spanking before saying "Lissen heah, woman! Ah'm gitten me the BIG version! An' if you don't LAHK it, you can..."
then when you get out of the hospital, you'll be glad you have BIAB, because with all your bones broken, it will be hard to play mandolin. The Realtracks will sound all the sweeter playing at the push of a button. (But you may have to push the button with your nose, unless that's broken too)

FLASH! THIS JUST IN! Wife (errrr the Domestic CFO) has approved the purchase of the UltraPlusPak! One caviat - I have to wait a day or two when the funds arrive into the account... AWESOMENESS!  Now - should I go for the download (would have to be across a wireless network to my music PC) or opt for the USB HD format(costs more $ for shipping/handling)...  One other question - is that user's manual fairly easy to follow? Are there some instructional videos out on youtube that can help me get a jump-start on the learning curve? Thanks, everyone! PS - never mind the youtube question - there's TONS of stuff out there!

That's good news. We look forward to your participation as a user.
Definitely, get the hard drive. The RealTrack files would be enormous to download. Plus, after you install to your hard drive, put the external hard drive away as a backup (although you can also choose to run from the provided hard drive).
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

Cool!!
Definitely go for the hard drive even if you have to wait. It's worth it and they send it out very fast anyway.
The manual and help files are a 50/50 thing. Some things are explained very well and others are a dogs breakfast to put it bluntly. Don't worry, we'll get you going. Most of us get better info from watching all the videos and not just on Youtube although there's good one's there too. PG has a whole library of them. Look at the tips and tricks forum, Peter has some links posted right there and then there's others on the main website.
You mentioned a lap steel. I take it that isn't a protective harness wify uses?
Moving on, the pedal steel Real Tracks were one of the first RT's to come out after the original RT's were released because practically everyone requested it and all I can say coming from me as a jazz player, they are really good. Then the next year they came out with a pedal steel soloist and that really put some icing on the cake. I use them sparingly quite often and the country guys of course use them a lot. A steel guitar is extremely difficult if not impossible to emulate using midi so these tracks really did it for a lot of folks here.

Hard drive it is, then! I might be able to place this order tomorrow afternoon. That's the plan for now, anyway.. Jazzy - I guess the lap steel could be used as a protective harness, and I wouldn't mind as long as I got to work the pedals..

I guess they told you that if 2012.5 ships within 30 days of your purchase, you'll get the update for free.
on a related note, I have a feeling that we are going to like the music you post, Mike. You're going to fit in well around here.
