I will be receiving my BIAB 2015 upgrade soon. Questions come to mind -

a. What does RealBand do ?
b. In order to use RealBand, do I need BIAB ?
c. If I decide to use RealBand, is there an additional cost, and if so, what is the amount ?
d. Is there a glossary for all the unknown terms forum members are using ? I see terms that I have trouble finding in the PGMusic "pdf" manuals.




1) if you've used any other DAW such as Sonar, ProTools then you already understand some of what RealBand does. It's a multi-track audio-MIDI DAW with some of BIAB's features added

2) You don't need BIAB to use RealBand... but since it comes packaged with BIAB at no extra cost, if you have Real Band then you also have BIAB

3) If there are terms being used here that you don't yet know, the easiest thing would be to ask one at a time and we'll be happy to explain

many of us use BIAB to very quickly capture the essence of an idea by entering chords and applying them to one of several thousand included styles.

Once the basic song idea is roughed out in BIAB, we reopen it in RealBand where we have different tools and more tracks to expand and refine on the basic idea.
