The UltraPak is an excellent choice if you want to perform with your backing tracks. I use the UltraPak and highly recommend this version if you have the funds to invest. If you have a limited budget and music making is your hobby, or if you only want to experiment with BIAB before making a more significant decision, or if you want to use the program to practice your guitar playing then you should consider the PRO or MegaPak version. So you can see that this is going to be a personal decision and one that I can only guide you on. It is quite literally the whole hog, barn, and field. It includes PowerTracks (which is PG Music’s premium DAW) as well as other music creation software, documentaries, and trivia. The OminPAK version is the full set of music creation and productivity software. The AudioPhile version comes with songs and lessons and also has high-quality WAV versions of all the RealTracks The UltraPAK Plus comes with everything in the UltraPAK version as well as additional songs and lessons. That will give you some idea about the differences between the various versions. The PRO version is a 15-gigabyte installation, the MegaPak is 25 gigabytes, and the UltraPAK is well over 120 gigabytes.

The difference between the PRO, MegaPak, and UltraPAK is in the number of styles, instruments, and loops that PG Music delivers with your purchase.

I can summarise the content differences as follows: The main difference between the various versions is in the other “content” delivered alongside these two programs. It is important to note that, unlike other tiered pricing software packages, both the Band-in-a-Box and RealBand program functionality is identical for all the different price points. "What version of Band-in-a-Box should I buy? Should I choose the entry-level Pro version or should you go all out and buy the Audiophile Edition? Should I buy the Mac or the PC version? What add-ons should I buy?" In this blog post, I am going to be attempting to answer some questions I get asked quite a bit.
