No (real) competition. Focus your resources on your best product. The standalone app. Stop developing the VST plugin if it ties up too many resources. Same for RealBand.

Bring your archaic WinXP UI into the 2020s to attract younger customers
[*]Record RealTracks. The more the merrier. Not cheap, but a good investment for the future

This! This right here is 100% correct!

I'd kill Realband immediately.

I'd kill the plugin which was a great concept that is still not implemented properly several years on.

I recently referred a friend to BIAB (he then bought UltraPak) and I felt compelled in advance to inform him that 1) RealTracks are the absolute best thing to ever hit music software and the single reason to run don't walk to buy this product immediately and 2) this is one of the most out of date, hard to use, buggiest pieces of software you'll see among modern programs.

It is a damn shame that the sheer BRILLIANCE of RealTracks are buried in this mess.

The whole 49 new features marketing nonsense convolutes and sometimes even breaks the product annually and we, the customers, finish the beta testing until they redirect efforts to the Mac version.

And there is always someone who will point out how BIAB can do anything if only you will go through a Rube Goldberg series of actions. But that ain't fun at all! And it sucks the whole creative energy out of you while you are trying to make something cool! I actually enjoy using Reaper. I love using EZ Drummer 3. There are countless other programs out there that are fun to use and that aspect seems to be lost here!

So, after all my complaints, why do I even use BIAB? Simple! Peter and his team created something magical with RealTracks. Something not yet available anywhere else!

But it may not be long before companies like Toontrack figure out that a bundle of their EZ Drums, EZ Keys, EZ Bass, and some future guitar product is essentially BIAB!
