I decided to go ahead and buy it... for less than $20, it's an amazing deal... if nothing else, for the added content like loops and plugs. But apart from that, the new features also look compelling.

Really, I guess if you're entitled to the $19.95 price, chances are you already have access to all the loops and plugs from previous purchases which are re-downloadable from the cakewalk "my-account" site. Even if you don't still have it installed, you could re-DL and install the previous version to get the extra content. But it looks like there may be new loops if nothing else.


Speaking of loops, has anybody had luck in RealBand using loops in another directory besides the default \realtracks\loops\ directory?

Loops take up so much space, I hate to install duplicates... but any time I've tried browsing to another directory, the loop I select doesn't load.
