I purchased this software mostly for backing tracks to Irish tunes, jigs, reels, slides etc but aways get multiple missing realtracks messages when selecting a celtic style (set #123 is common). Have I go to buy extra realtracks, and if so where do I get this set? Thanks

The entry level Pro Pak is quite limited. Please tell us what pak you purchased. All of the Styles available in the packages are listed on this page. Certainly extra RealTrack sets can be purchased and added on at any time.

OP skywest Newbie S Joined: Nov 2020 Posts: 6	Thanks for the replies and having done some further research based on your answers I think that I've made a bit of a mistake.! I bought the basic pro pak. Basically I just wanted to have an acoustic trad Irish band of upright bass, rhythm guitar, bodhran and maybe a mandolin or fiddle for variation. I need to do Jigs, slip jigs, reels, slides, hornpipes and polkas. It seems not possible to do most of this in the basic version, in fact pretty much none of it! There's the odd reel but based around a piano (huh?), with no alternatives. I thought there might be 1 or 2 packs extra to do this but I see that I would need to buy at least 6 just to get going and even then it would be limiting, not to mention expensive! It's just such a pain to record backing tracks myself in the real world and I thought this might be a quick way to bypass that workload. Besides which, my bodhran playing is nearly as bad as my fiddle playing.
