Yes, the many versions are a little bit strange at first - especially since the 'Pro' version is the one which can't be used for anything serious.
I use the UltraPlusPAK since years - and update from time to time (last time in 2012).
The UltraPlusPAK includes ALL the real drums and real tracks - and that is the heart of BIAB (= reason for good sound) - the "Pro" pack is the "old Midi toy sound".
You can get individual packs of real sounds - but that will be very expensive if you want more than a few.Versions:

http://www.pgmusic.com/realtracks.all.php?os=macThe best way to buy BIAB is online on the US page - since the $ exchange rate is fine at the moment.
(you need a fast internet connection - the UltraPlusPack is about 90GB) -
Here are some packs you may like to check - only Pop/Rock
(note each pack is $29 - so VERY expensive if you like to get ALL of them)

I treated myself to the EVERYTHING PAK.
Thanks guys! -
I upgraded my old 2012 version to the latest EverythingPAK as well - the tutorial videos are quite helpful - and much better then the TV program
-
Thanks for the infos guys !!!
My internet-connection is fast, there's some money left I have to spend (tax...), so I will take a look at the bigger versions.
-
It took me 190 minutes for 80 GB this morning, not bad.
-
EverythingPAK is bought and download just started....
BIAB EverythingPAK is less expensive than one of the Strymons (Timeline + Mobius) I bought recently....
-
Yes, that is fast!
Now you have to watch all the videos
-
One question left: now I'm downloading file by file (BIAB, Bonus Pak, Audio Style Demos, Songs & Lessons, all Real Tracks ect.). Do I just install one after the other (of course the program-file first), is it that simple?
-
Yes, , first the program - and then the rest one after the other.
And when you ever buy an update you need only to install the new program and the new real tracks.
-
You may first download the bonus 6 pack - there is a new features video included - cab be watched during download ...

I guess using BIAB will safe a lot of time to make demos....
-
I admire your patience with what must be a LONG download (how many hours?). They are sending me a USB hard drive with everything on it. Of course I will also have to be patient since it wont arrive until Friday or so.

I have a fast internet connection, right now downloading files it's around 80 Mbps (up to 100 Mbps), shouldn't take too long....

I guess using BIAB will safe a lot of time to make demos....Depends on the style you want - e.g. there is not so much for hard-rock or metal - but a lot of great stuff for soft styles and all kinds of Jazz.
But since the 2014 version can we create our own User-Tracks - so you could create your own backings styles and use them later in any key at any speed.

FYI:
I just chat with support to ask how we're supposed to use BIAB on a workstation AND a laptop when travelling. The licence restricts to use on one computer only.
Answer from BIAB support:
The licence is good for up to 3 activations. Just activate on your computers as you need.
Hope that helps, because this info isn't available in their forums ... at least I couldn't find using Google.Also:
On Windows I just install the actual software and then there is a master installer which takes care of all installation of RealDrums and RealTracks in one go (unattended).Cheers
