Who said it is just used to learn to play? I agree with you; many of us make very good sounding accompaniment tracks in many different styles. Nothing can touch this program for that. And if you used RealTracks like I do, you would want all you could get. That alone is easily worth the price of the new version!

The Realtracks are worth their weight in gold to me. They really are an amazing invention for music creators. Noel

Wow this is just a cosmetic upgrade. nothing new really. Still no rewire, a feature that has been requested for over 10 years or anyway to sync bib with a real DAW not like real tracks.
There are a lot of things from the wishlist I would have loved to see in the upgrade and were it not for the new RealTracks I'd def take a pass. BUT, I'll upgrade just for the RealTracks! The upgrade price is reasonable and you get a lot of new tracks to use in making music!

I purchased the UltraPak upgrade, with all the extras. 4 payments at $59 and change. Can't go wrong with that.  If you got all extras how did you get it for 4 x $59? $149 UltraPAK $49 2018 49-PAK $49 New Xtra Styles PAK 4 $49 Video RealTracks Sets 3-6 -------------------------------- $296

My only comment and this is not making fun of anybody is this:
Probably 90% of the users don't understand the concept behind what you just wrote and could care less. They load in the chords, pick a style, hit Play. That's it. Biab is huge in music schools. Do you think a teacher using it to teach a student how to solo over the circle of 5ths cares about rewire?
Bob
Exactly,Bob. That 90% wants to do just that.Maybe just maybe certain bits could be a bit more plug and play for non-techies like me but it great in its core operations. WendyM PS-looks like 2018 is coming out a bit buggy so for Numpties like meI think id better hang on a couple of weeks while you fix things. PPS-whats a circle of fifths?lol

I thought it was a circle of fourths. Ha.
A patch after a new release is pretty standard, but even as is, I’m not encountering any show-stopping problems in regular use.
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

He who knows these things says a fifth is a bottle of whiskey and thats why you go round in circles. Im thinking that I'll hang on a bit and see what happens.Im sure to buy it but would prefer in less buggy as Im not easily able to fix techie things(as some of you guys already know from Beginners)if something needs se-setting etc. Does anyone know if the VIDEO RTs are just so you can see the recording artiste playing them or they NEW RTs and can be incorporated into my SGU as if they are normal RTS?

Hello Bob (aka Jazzmammal)
Jbridge should never be used as an excuse for avoiding a 64 bit program rewrite.
These 64 bit instruments are wonderful and sophisticated. They appreciate having up to date midi tools for communication.
Unless I am mistaken, Biab has not updated midi communication in +20 years? The midi pages of this program suggest they are original and the midi tools are from a bygone age.
Check out how much Cubase, Live and Logic have invested in upgrading their midi communication tools in the last few years
If the boss sees the future only in Realtracks and Realdrums it would be helpful for him to say so then I can avoid the upgrade costs.
Great opportunity to wish you and all here a very Happy Xmas and New Year
Neil
