I agree with the Earl, the OP. Realtracks are too much of a problem for me. They just take up
too much drive space, and way too much time loading. I bought the special USB hard drive, and its been less than underwhelming. It stopped working. I spent "a lot" of time on it, over an hour. That's a lot of time. Did not try working with pgmusic tech support, and yeah, maybe they'd have a solution. But it would definitely take more time.

pgmusic is clearly not the only software on my PC. I'm not going to dedicate a PC to a program (though I did have a hard drive dedicated).

Sometimes less is more. The most valuable feature for any program is to run at any time without problems. Once MIDI is set up BIAB has worked fine for me. Can't say the same about Realtracks.

To me, it seems that Realtracks is aiming to "solve" a totally different need, with very different trade offs. If I'm looking for hi fidelity, I use Sonar - or one could use pg's Protracks. If I want "intelligent" transposition, practise, etc. etc. I use BIAB. But I'm not likely to pay more money for another bundle which includes realtracks. Got to really target my music expenditures.

Of course, Realtracks are apparrantly great for some people - to each their own.


Finally, I have found a cool signature with sufficiently dry humor.
