In the past 49 bonus PAK must be ordered in addition to the upgrade so you may want to verify with Sales that the 49 PAK was ordered with the Audiophile upgrade.

1) Will these bonus Realtracks come pre-installed on my new hard drive along with the rest of the Audiophile realtracks or do I have to download them? I am pretty sure that I should have got some bonus realtracks with the 2015 upgrade last year but looking now they are not on the Audiophile drive so I guess that I should have downloaded them?

2) Also what happens to the realtracks from the 49 PAKs of prior BIAB versions when a new version of BIAB gets released? Do they get rolled into the base set of Realtracks for that new release or are they permanently separated from the core product? (meaning that nobody can ever get access to purchase them again as each bonus track set is only ever offered during the special offer launch period for a new release - this would seem to be a waste). On my computer bonus material shows up under the Bonus PAK heading and is intergrated with the rest of the material.

3) Finally do I just install the bonus realtracks into the main BIAB realtracks directory? I tend to wipe this main realtracks directory Not a good idea! Most people update the new over the old so they don't lose bonus material from past years.and reinstall it with each new version that I buy but if it contains Bonus Realtracks that won't be re-delivered again then I will have to rethink this strategy (maybe keep a separate directory with a copy of all the Bonus Realtracks and recopy that in to the main directory each release?).

If anyone can shed any light on any of the above I would be most grateful.

BTW I am absolutely stoked by the range and quality of the new Realtracks in BIAB 2016 - the demos sound amazing! Well done all at PG Music!

Regards, Aubrey
