Well, after several hours work, I finally got BB 2010 loaded on the laptop, using the 26 physical discs. But, not without difficulties. Starting with sets 67-69 (white labeled discs---different coloring from those to this point), these sets didn't want to load. After many trials and rebooting, they finally worked. No problems until I got to that that particular set, with the same problem with each of the remaining ones. I was really hesitant to load 2010, since I've had such good luck with 2009.5 with no problems. Then, wouldn't you know it. I first went to the smooth jazz demos, which is one reason I upgraded. No real bass (green tab active), or very little to say the least. You can barely hear the bass on these styles by setting it at 127 and the other parts in the 80's or thereabouts. I've quickly checked some of the other styles, including my own tunes, and everything seems normal. My laptop is a high-end unit with 7200 disc speed. And BIAB is the only thing on the laptop. I may have to grow into 2010, since I'm not estatic yet. The load time is a little faster, but not what I expected based on the comments on the web site. Guess I was expecting blazing fast. I like those Previous and Next buttons at the top. They work nicely. However, I found that with the Jukebox playing, if you hit those buttons, the tunes play in reverse---i.e., Next plays the previous song, etc... I'm sure there's much to learn and I'm just scratching the surface.

If the Jukebos window is set for Random Order Playback, the Prev and Next buttons can be confusing. Uncheck Random Playback and they'll play in alpha nu order and the buttons should respond accordingly.
Don't forget to check the version number in Help About and if you aren't on Build 292, visit the update page, download and install it.
There was also a recent update for the realtracks put up ober there, too, which fixes quite a few realtracks bugs.
And I expect there to be some more, so keep tabs on the update page for awhile...

Well, my experience has been that songs that used to take 10-15 seconds (sometimes more) to generate now do so in about 2-5 seconds. I wouldn't call that blazing, but I wouldn't say "just a little faster" either. I think it's pretty impressive.
I would say that if you are having problems with the DVDs that you contact PGMusic and let them know; they would probably send you a replacement set.
If you are not hearing the RealTracks, you might want to check your audio output settings. I don't know what you are using for MIDI output, but you need to find the right balance between the two. There is also a global adjust for RealTracks that you can use to boost them.

Between 2 and 3 seconds for me, really. I hit play and it's almost immediate.
Cheers,

Hey J. Larry,
You might want to consider running BIAB from an external Hard Drive. The load times are amazing. Even with the supplied HD from PG music, which I'm sure isn't 7,200 RPM, it's pretty much blazing.
About the volume levels with your RT bass, it MAY be that the install from that disk was corrupt? or maybe a problem with the disk?
Best bet is to get on the Live chat and sort it out.
If you really want to get your socks blown off, but a Solid State Hard Drive! WOW...........the speeds are amazing. A little pricey though.
Happy Holidays,
Ed

Excellent and fast delivery on the hard disk ultrapack. Starting to go through my songs and upgrade the real tracks to some of the new ones.
Thanks,
