I have a few songs with lots of pushes and shots, but the real tracks swing styles I use all seem to increase the volume on the pushes or shots and/or use excessive cymbal crashing and rim shot. Has anyone figured out a way around this. For awhile PG seems to have that fixed, but with the latest upgrade 350 they seem to be back and ruin the songs.

I guess my main problem was with the real drums, so I went to Preferences - Real Drums, and found adjustments for velocities and gave them negative numbers. Helped a lot, but I'll still have to use less shots.

Try going to Menu->Preferences->Arrange and uncheck the Allow Any Pushes and Allow Style Pushes checkboxes, generate the realdrums, freeze the drum track, return to preferences and recheck the two checkboxes so that the piano, bass, guitar, etc follow the pushes but the drums stay simpler.

HTH,
Ed

THIS link may help.

I ended up commenting out most of the shots I did not want. Not many needed volume adjustments after I found the one(s) I liked.

Sometimes I like the drums without shots, so I copy the song and change the chords to not have shots. I then take that drum track into a sequencer (drag & drop) along with the original song tracks (including drums with shots) and choose what I want for the final version.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
