Thanks Beagle,

Before I step into this swamp, I would like your opinion between Real Band & Powertracks and how they stacks up to C5, and how RB & PT stack up to the higher end Products you stated above.

A bit about me: I am a professional Jazz Guitarist 35+years but I'm only about 2.5 years into working all this stuff. Thats 2.5 years with PT and now RB (pretty much the same). RB and PT can be buggy, and many times when something doesn't work I can spin like a top trying to find out what is wrong. Most of the times it's something stupid I did or didn't do, but sometimes it's the program. I've gotten better at the check down, but ...

This is the swamp that worries me. I've alway been of the opinion, when I do something I want to do it the best I can. I'm willing to pay my dues. Sometimes, however, the moon is high enough, and I don't need to shoot for the stars. Especially if the stars will cause me a lot of NOT FUN. In the 2.5 years I've gotten pretty good at PT and RB, in otherwords I've reached the moon. Do you think it could be my MO to go further. Beagle, you seem very detailed and you seem to understand the programs out there, and I value your opinion here.
