Repeating RealDrum Fills - PG Music Forums

PG Music Home

I am using the RealDrums JazzBrushes style, and would like to set up BIB 2010 to "repeat" the same fill pattern at each part marker in my song.

Is that possible, and if so, what steps would I take to edit my RealDrums JazzBrushes style to make this so?

Thanks for any replies...

I don't know of any way to do that.

Can't vouch for BiaB but in RB it would be a simple cut/paste to get the same part to repeat 'on demand'.

I haven't even been in real band yet too caught up with learning biab. Let's hear some detail on this subject like can you make half measure fills and full measure fills, etc. This would be the answer to my prayers if that was in some way possible. Thanks

If it was generated you simply cut/paste it where you want it, multiple times if needed, since realtracks (realdrums included) are audio tracks.

You can generate multiple tracks of the drums in RB and cut paste from each, if you like, to assemble one 'good' track.
RB is a better tool than BiaB in some applications.

I don't want to make too many assumptions here but are you familiar with basic digital/audio recording? The reason I ask is this is pretty standard stuff in a sequencer, not so much in Biab. In a digital audio recorder like Real Band, Sonar, Reaper, whatever it's nothing to take a track and isolate a few beats or half bar or whatever, copy it and paste in back in wherever you want to put it. Like your drum fills. If you're just learning this stuff anyway, I would suggest you learn Real Band first, you may find it more to your liking. Biab does not allow for exact parts, it takes the style you choose and creates the parts for you including drum fills and it does it it's way, not necessarily your way. You want to create exact parts, you need to look at RB.

I second the above advice. My experience with BIAB was from about 6 years ago. I then got away from it and came back with version 2009.5. I have found that my workflow starts in BIAB until I get something that is close to what I'm looking to do. Then I put it into RB and fine tune it even more. From there it goes into my DAW where I do most of my processing adding external synths etc to my final mix. It would be great to have all of that in one package but this way each piece of software does what it is supposed to and it isn't overwhelming to learn.

The only sequencer I used was Soundtrek Jammer pro 6, which isn't much but I used it for a lot of midi files of cover songs and then out to Roland PMA-5 and my Korg O1wfd. I will check out RB, and work with it for a while and see how it goes. Thanks

Yep, cut and paste.

You do have all that in one package with Real Band. Obviously, people use lots of different softwares to get their music done and that's fine but, Real Band is a complete DAW, you can use multiple synths both internal software or external hardware, effects or mastering plugins, all the audio or midi editing capability you could ever want and then finalize your masterpiece and burn it to CD, MP3, whatever. The main difference is workflow and what you're used to. For example I have Adobe Audition and I really like the way I can do the cutting and pasting there even though the same functions are available in RB. During the last beta testing I kept everything in RB just to make sure everything works and yes, it does everything Audition does just a bit differently, that's all. Audition has some cool frequency analyzer things but you can get similar things as 3rd party plugins and use them in RB too.
