one last issue and then i can prob close this thread -
when i upgrade to 2010.5, i'll probably go to the mega-pak pkg. the website says these things come in the mega-pak: 40 real tracks in 10 bands, real drums sets 1-5 and all 77 style sets.
1) 40 real trks in 10 bands - what's the 10 bands all about ?
2) a drum SET or style SET ? how big is a set (would 1 style set contain only 1 style)
3) don't understand about real trks (i've listened to the demo's - they're awesome) what's the diff
between a real track and a style. if i had real trks, would i still need different styles. are the
real trks just sounds only, with no particular organization to them - much like the midi sounds
that comefrom a sound canvas ?
4) what's this" real band" all about ?

As i think about it (after writing all this) these are questions that prob should be addressed by PGM sales staff. if you want to direct me there, that'll be OK too - but i thought i'd go ahead and post them as someone else may have these questions too. I don't mind "doing the homework" and digging for these answers (i've done some already) - if there are some links or places you could refer me too, i'd welcome that help too. the only thing i could come up with on real band is a video on the new features (and that helped some) but i still not sure what it is or how it could help me in my projects.
thanks to ALL for the replies
gratefully,
