1. The UltraPlus is the best package, and includes all Realtracks (370+), all RealDrums (200+) and all MIDI styles (1700+) . This package is very large (80GB), and comes pre-installed on an included 160GB USB hard drive. (it is also available on DVD, but this is a 20 DVD package which would take a long time to install.) Note: We also have an EverythingPAK (Hard Drive), that is the same as the UltraPlus PAK HardDrive, with an additional package called Songs And Lessons Pak.
2. The MegaPAK is the next best package. It includes 40 RealTracks (of 70 available) grouped into 10 RealCombos* (RealCombos are a ‘band’ of RealTracks in the same style) . It also includes 30+ additional RealDrum styles (in 7 sets). The MegaPAK includes all of the styles. Available on DVD.
3. The ProPak is the basic package. It includes 12 realTracks, grouped into 3 RealCombos* (“bands”) and also includes 1 additional RealDrums set and 200 MIDI Styles. Available on DVD (or CD if requested).


*What are RealCombos? “RealCombos” are a ‘band’ of RealTracks and RealDrums in the same style. For example, the Jazz Swing 140 RealCombo includes 5 RealInstruments (Bass, Piano, Guitar, Sax, and Drums) that play Swing in Medium swing tempo. RealCombos have a “ideal tempo” listed – they can be played at any tempo, but sound best near the ideal (originally recorded) tempo.

I just bought the realtrack 73 for MAC but I can download only the .exe file, not the DMG.

I've mailed the PG support but no response yet.

Is there a problem with the server?

Hi,

It sounds like it went through as a PC order. Please contact us, so we can send you the correct version...

I'm still a bit confused

I've got 2009.5 with everything, including the Songs & Lessons and the video tutorials, except the Audiophile stuff.

I want to upgrade to the 2010 edition. Do I need to get the Everything Pak or the UltraPlus Pak? The difference between the 2 seems to be the Songs & Lessons and the Video Tutorial Paks; are they different / extras on the 2010 edition?

Also, I am confused re the bonus paks. For $25, I can get Bonus-20 Pak, but is this any different to what I already have? For example, is the "101 Jazz Guitar Phrases" (item 17 on the bonus-20 pak) different from the "101 Riffs - Jazz Guitar Phrases" that I already have?

Thanks for clarifying.
