There is a RealTracks update available (April 14 2015)

Download the RealTracks Patch. (110 MB)

Users with the Audiophile version of Band-in-a-Box should instead download the larger Audiophile update patch (900 MB)

This is a general maintenance patch for RealTracks, RealDrums, and MIDI SuperTracks. It includes all of the recent fixes and enhancements that we've made to files shipped in 2014 and 2015. Some of the main fixes are listed below. There are also enhancements to most shots and holds files to allow them to work as held styles.

  • Improved: Enhancements have been made to existing shots & holds in RealTracks: When entering holds in Band-in-a-Box, guitar RealTracks will now play holds in a more musical way, with strums that lead into the beat. Many more RealTrack can now be designated as "Held" styles (a new feature in Band-in-a-Box 2015) when picking them in the RealTracks picker.

    For example, if there is a guitar RealTrack you really like, but you'd like it to just play held chords rather than a rhythmic part. Unique, individual 'Held' RealTracks can be created from existing RealTracks in the Soloist Editor. Individual RealTracks can be specified as 'Held' in Band-in-a-Box styles (.sty files)

    Here is a Band-in-a-Box generated demo of Holds 105 that demonstrates the effectiveness of this. This .SGU cycles through shots/holds chords: maj, min, m7b5, and dominant 7, playing each chord in the key of A, C, D, E, and G. .... Listen to the Holds 105 Demo file

Thanks Andrew.

I note the fact that there is a larger update patch for we Audiophile users. However, that is over 2 hours of download with Aussie Internet speeds etc. So, can we get this update as a disk please?

Yes, we'll be able to do that. I'll ask them to send you one by post Graham. Any other Audiophile users that would prefer to get a (free) DVD in the mail (rather than a 900MB download), please let us know by emailing sales@pgmusic.com and requesting one.


Have Fun!

Just to let you know that the Audiophile Update on disc arrived safely in Australia and has now been installed. Thank you Peter, Catherine and all the gang.

One of these days Broadband will be available in this neck of the woods and I will be able to download large amounts of data in a reasonable time. Or so the Government have promised us. But I'm not holding my breath.
