New BIAB. I HAVE 2012. Is it worth getting a new version
if you use BIAB only sparingly?

Probably not. I'm still using BIAB 2008.

I concur. Still using version 8.5. If 12 does what you need it to do, why waste the money??

I upgraded from 2008 to 2015 recently. There are some really good realtrax included also realband. The biggie for me was a BIAB app for android devices. I use my tablet or smartphone to play biab tracks for solo gigs and practice. I like seeing where I am in a song, especially playing instrumental solos. The app works great, if i need to change key or other changes like muting the bass when my bass player shows up. :)
Is it worth the $$$?? for me yes.

For 300 of 400 dollars, I think I'll stick with 2012.

The upgrade was $160.00 I think. You get several realtrax that are really good. Of course, I mute the steel track :) ..

The real tracks are excellent and well worth the price!
