Bonus 49-PAK 2017 - ordering links, demos and info

Might have to order this ... like what I am hearing!!! Awesome stuff, Peter!

Where do I get 'beginner alto solo' and 'beginner sax solo', are those RTs? They aren't listed in the 24 new RTs included in the 49 pak. Thanks.

Do a style search for _EVENING.sty and _40LIVES.sty and see if they show up. I installed the 49 PAK a couple days ago and they do show up when I do a search in style picker. I also do a slow rebuild after installing any new package.

Thanks JC, I only have BIAB 2015 ultra, thinking of upgrading this year, but wondering where the beginner sax solo tracks are, since they don't appear on the RT list for 2017 or as part of the 24 RTs included with the 49 pak.

Bob,

Where did you read about the beginner's saxophone tracks being included? I'll go and have a read and work out where to find them.

Regards,
Noel

Hey Noel,

In the style demos above that Peter posted, there are two styles, 40LIVES and EVENING, that say they include beginner sax. I listened to them and thought they might work for some of my tunes.

Great! Now we just need to hear demos of the new instruments in this Pak (can hardly make out some for the ruddy band!), and things are rolling nicely

Edit: Oh, and of course audio demos of any Supertrack that doesn't have a matching RT counterpart, very anxious to hear that new TangoMiles

Can someone tell me how to access the instrumentsl studies.
Searched help file but couldn't find anythin in there.
Thanks

I think these are available from the 2017 FREE Bonus PAK
Did you install that?
(I have to admit that they're not jumping out to be found... Not sure how to address them)

I have the 49PAK which they are on (have just upgraded to Audiophile) but can't see them on the drive and can't see how to access them in BIAB.

The concept of Instrumental Studies was first seen added to BBox in the 2016 release.
If everything got installed properly, there should be a folder by that name (Instrumental Studies) within your BBox folder. Inside are song files you can load into the program which will give you videos & audio of a performer doing some song or tutoring with a core instrument.

You can do a search for example on "Jazz Soloist, Sw 140 - #1 Bb.MGU", which is one of the 2016 study for sax.

Excellent! Found them

Appreciate the help.

Just a quick question. I'm about to order the upgrade from my old MegaPAK to the UltraPlusPAK.

I understand that if you want the 49 Pak then you have to order it at the same time.

The demo of the 49 pak sounds great, but the only thing is with so many realtracks etc in the UltraPlusPAK I'm not sure if I really need the 49 pak but I won't know for sure until I've upgraded.

Is the best thing to do to order both, then if I think I don't need the 49 pak, to ask for a refund? or can you order the UltraPlusPAK on its own, then ask support to add the 49 pak to your order a week or so later?

Paul,

Given the business intensity of the holiday season, it's usual for Sales staff to visit these forums at this time of year.

Use Live Chat (under the Support link above) to talk to sales staff directly. That way you are guaranteed to get an answer as quickly as possible.

Keep in mind that holiday hours are a little different than normal.

My personal experience is that I can never have too many Realtracks. There's always room for more. They are just so amazing and incredibly versatile. I regularly mix and match across genres.

All the best,
Noel

I have the UltraPlusPak and bought the Bonus 49-PAK last year because of some great, modern sounding guitar RealTracks. After chatting with PG Music and reading the forums, I've learned that typical practice is that Bonus 49-PAKs are released as part of the following year's upgrade. If you hear something that you "have to have" right now, go for it. Otherwise, you'll likely get it with your upgrade next year.

I'm a sucker for steel guitar RealTracks, so I'm still on the fence about this year's 49-PAK. I hope this helps!

Great, thanks for your help. I hadn't realised that support would be working over the Christmas weekend

Merry Christmas from New Zealand - it's already afternoon on Christmas day here!
