Though I'm impressed with the significantly improved 'live' sound of the audio loops (compared to midi loops), it should be noted that unless you're willing to fork out a lot more money ($699US vs $399US) for the 'Audiofile' version of Biab (of which includes 'uncompressed' WAV loops), that the other version(s?) of Biab's audio loops are merely 32kbps .wma files. For live/casual 'backing track' projects this sounds quite fine, but for making a pro level recording, it may not sound good enough. That said, I'm debating whether to shell out an additional $300 for the Audiofile version. I'm interested in getting feedback from others about this. Thanks. - Scott


Scott, there are those of us who have been selling recordings made with the "standard" .wma version of the Realtracks since their inception.

To date, not one of my clients has complained about a lack of audio fidelity or anything like that. (Now, there have been some complaints about MY playing... heh.)

Don't know what to say about your playing (I haven't heard it yet), but regarding the standard .wma version which I already now have, appreciate your assurance about that. That said, I'm holding on to that $300 now and applying it instead to help cover the cost of Tyros4.

p.s. Scott, they're going to eventually do one on Real Band also.
