Saw the add for the latest set of real Xtra Styles #3 and wondered whether I owned it.
A bit of old age setting in.

I Checked the BIAB "what addins do i have" -
no clear answer answer there
Apparently I do have 77 styles disks
Nowhere do I see styles "PAKS" although I think I purchased one previously(the 49 PaK i think it was called).

I also did the the "check now for latest new products" but found the qualifier ("unless we've made some new ones") less than informative/helpful.

Given an internet connection between PG and myself, I think PG could check what I have, bounce it against what they have released, and provide a definitive answer down to the granularity of a single real track and/or style (midi or real). Punto, Final.

But that's just my $.02

So I checked my styles list and found I had 1808 real styles.

I compared some of the style names on the new PAK with my 1808 and got no matches.
So I'm thinking I don't have it.
What gives?

When I check for latest new products I am told I have all of the styles disks..


I value RealTracks and Real Styles for the work I do with BIAB. I am willing to pay the $$$ to maintain a complete set.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Have a look at my post in the below thread. That explains how to see if one has the Xtra Pak 3 styles (and the other two as well, if needed).

Thanks,

Think I'm starting to get it.

So, if I select a category from the list and no styles are populated in the form, it means I have not purchased the PAK

If you ordered from PGMusic, you should be able to log into your purchase account ("My Account") from the main PGMusic web page and see what you have ordered from them. If you ordered any of the XTRA styles paks, they should show up in the list.

Yes. If you don't see any reference to Xtra1, Xtra2 or Xtra3 then it means that you don't have them.

If you have a look at the image below, you can see that I have all three Xtra Styles packages.

Also... make sure that you press "Clear" in Stylepicker before you follow the instructions in the post I've linked to in my previous reply.

Or you have purchased them (see my previous post) and haven't downloaded and installed them, or possibly haven't installed them properly.

I show 5 of each in Xtra 1, 2 and 3. That would appear to be everything. In other words, just as in the above picture but with two more in the Xtra3 category.

I suspect the last two dropped off because of the window size in the image.

Thanks for pointing that out Matt. It's useful information and I didn't think to include it. As John mentioned, I couldn't fit everything on the display.
