Tim,

The Pro and Mega packages differ from the other packages by breaking out the RealTrack instruments from the sets and assembling the individual RealTrack instruments into RealCombos or bands.

From the PG Music RealCombos webpage:
Quote:
"RealCombos" are a band of RealTracks in the same style. For example, the Jazz Swing 140 RealCombo includes 5 Real Instruments (Bass, Piano, Guitar, Sax, and Drums) that play at a medium swing 140 bpm tempo.


The +++ 2020 ProPAK Real Combos +++ have
Quote:
Over 300 RealTracks instruments in over 100 bands
. The +++ 2020 MegaPAK Real Combos +++ have
Quote:
Over 500 RealTracks in 300 Bands


Each "combo" or "band" has a style. PG Music lists the style and provides a demo audio file using the style.

PG Music lists each RealTracks included in the Pro and Mega PAKs. PG Music includes an audio file for each RealTracks instrument in solo and within a band. However they do not list which RealTracks set each RealTracks is pulled from or which combo each RealTracks is used in.

I have a close affinity for the ProPAK as that was the first package I had in the RealTracks era. It was given to me as a Christmas gift. Without carrying the weight of discovering and using all the RealTracks that were available I concentrated on learning how to use the program and the addons that were available. I still get delighted by laying out a song in "C" and then switching to other keys just because the program can do that. To me, that is the magic of Band-in-a-Box.

I'm really sorry you are not satisfied with your purchase of set # 299.
