My advice to the new users, especially the young users.

Save your money. Just spend 130 bucks buy a BiaB Pro version. Plus a few XPro Styles Add-on Paks (50 bucks each).

The XPro Styles are tailored to work along with BiaB Pro version, of which doesn't have full RealTracks and MIDI content.

However, BiaB Pro version has the full features as Mega, Ultra, Ultra+ versions.

Also, in BiaB, as long as the Time Signatures are matching, the Feels (ev8, sw8, ev16, sw16) are matching, and the Tempos are close (plus minus 10 bmp), all RealTracks and MIDIs can be used interchangably, regardless of which band they were recorded from.

Spend your first year working hard, learning all the important features of BiaB.

After one year, if you feel BiaB is your thing, then skip Mega and Ultra, go straight to Ultra+, and buy those Xtra Styles Add-on Paks (50 bucks each, a total of 15 of them).

Yes, you are looking at close to $1,500 to spend. But it's worth it.

Ultra+ version is basically Ultra version plus a $100 Songs & Lessons Pak, of which contains Master Solos Series, Riffs & Phrases Series, Fakebook Songs, etc, which is massively powerful to professional music production.

Unless you have unlimited disk space, there's no need to go with the 2 TB size Audiophile version.

In summary: Buy Pro, save money. Go to YouTube, learn it to the full extent. Wait for a year, spend all your money buying the Ultra+ Pak and the sexy Add-ons. You won't be regreted.
