But you see my point, right? It didn't take 9 months for either RealDrums or RealTracks to take off. I'm guessing they were popular almost instantly.

Another key thing to understand is RealTracks are incredibly versatile. Ten users could create ten songs using the same RealStyle and they would be very different from each other. A casual listener may not even notice similarities.

However, if those same 10 songs used Video RealTracks all 10 videos will be way too similar and, frankly, boring! Video snippets of a closeup of a guitar player's hand are not likely to pull any views on Youtube. And even if you used it once I cannot imagine using it a second time. So it really is not apples to apples to compare Video RealTracks to RealTracks/RealDrums.

Maybe if PGM would share their plans we could find some optimism. But short of that all we have is a novelty feature and a small handful of compatible tracks.
