I’m a brand new noob, and my question is:
Is Realband alive and kicking as part of BIAB 2018 Pro version, or has it been deleted?
I’ve scoured Google, YouTube, and the BIAB manual, and I can’t see that it even exists. Yet I keep seeing references to Realband at various places on this website.
Could someone please clarify this for me before I go completely bonkers?
Thanks, and greetings from Sunny Sydney:)

Real Band comes included with all versions of BiaB.

Editing to add: I originally purchased the pro version (and later upgraded) and the confirmation email included this:

BBP-I Band-in-a-Box Pro with RealBand

Also, the download page you are linked in the email clearly lists it. Not sure how you could have missed it if you legitimately purchased the program (e.g. not torrented/cracked/ripped).

It's not included in the MAC version, only the windows version.

Not strictly correct. RealBand only comes with Band In A Box for Windows.

There is no RealBand included with Mac versions (at the present time).

Oh wow, no RB for MAC?!?! Never would have guessed it...

My sincerest apologies, OP, if I came across like a d**k.

Hey thanks guys. At last it makes sense. I guess it’s Garageband here I come.

Or just run the Windows version on your Mac. There are several posts about this on the BIAB for Mac forum here.
