Wendy, as this is your first experience updating to a new version, I can reassure you that things should settle down long before the sale pricing ends at the end of this month. As mentioned, the current build has no show stoppers of which I am aware. Nothing that remains to be fixed stops you from making music with the new RealTracks.

One thing you and others may not know is that the BIAB installer creates backups of the current version before installing the new. It’s always possible to revert by copying the older BBW.EXE and use that if you run into a serious problem. In over 25 years using BIAB, I only had to do this once to finish a project. The rest of the time I ‘live dangerously’ and install each update and upgrade with no hesitation.
