When I go on the PG site I hear a lot that I like but there is so much there that I find it kind of intimidating to wade through it all. I know I could make some great recordings using BIABn so I might need to check out the 2015 version. Would I still get some credit for purchasing an older version in terms of upgrade options or do they only back date so far? My version is probably more than 15 years old. I had a computer lab in my music room and used it with the kids a fair bit on old scrounged 486 computers. After I retired the board had it installed on all the modern school computers. Don't think it's there anymore since PG made so many improvements.

God Bless,
Don


Hi, Don.

The intimidation you mention is kind of what I was talking about re:learning curve. The folks at PG Music have packed a ton of features into BiaB, and they've given each one its own button in the menu. It makes for a confusing and overly busy interface, imo. I still don't know what over half of those buttons do, but it doesn't really matter to me because I can get BiaB to do what I need it to when I make my backing tracks. Every time I use it I learn a little more so progress is being made, albeit slowly sometimes. laugh

I'm pretty sure the upgrade option goes back to almost any previous version, but a quick call or email to PG Music would confirm this. They are quite good with answering calls and emails I'm told. They also put the whole thing on sale every December. That's how I recently upgraded to the everything pack. 50% off, I think it was. Whoohoo!

Thanks for listening,
Dan
