I'm trying to figure out when making my own drum tracks why bto files are not being made.How do I make them as I didn't see anything about them in the tutorial. Also,when making drum real tracks how do I get the infomation about the genre and artist info entered? Thanks

I'm tempted to ask, if your roll-your-own drums work, why do you ask? But I won't, because I don't know the answer.

Don't know if what you want will work like this or not. Just taking a shot at your question, never tried it.
Comments
When you create your style, you may want to add comments into the text file as reference points, or as reminders about certain aspects of the style. This can be done in two ways: 1) semicolon comments 2)Pascal-style comments
If you type a semicolon into the text file, whether it's at the beginning of a line, or at the end of a pattern definition, any text that is typed after the semicolon is ignored, which allows you to type comments. For example:
;this entire line will be ignored by Band-in-a-Box
pattern,normal,A,5,0,4,15;this text will also be ignored by Band-in-a-Box
Pascal-style comments are comments that are enclosed by { and } characters. Any text enclosed by these characters will also be ignored by Band-in-a-Box. Unlike the semicolons, these comments can occur in the middle of a pattern definition, and the line can continue after the comment. For example:
{this entire line will be ignored by Band-in-a-Box}
pattern,normal,{this text will be ignored}A,5,0,4,15

Hi,
The .bt0 or .bt1 files contain information about the characteristics of the wave file. Band-in-a-Box will make the file automatically the first time it uses the wave file. This saves a bit of time for next time the wave file is used. You don't need to do anything manually to make the file, other than play your drum style
(Note: older Band-in-a-Box versions create .bt0 files, newer version create .bt1 files. Both file types serve the same purpose, and Band-in-a-Box 2012 is backwards compatible with the .bt0 filetype)
To get the genre and artist information to show up, you would need to edit the file DrumStyleInfo2.txt in the bb folder, and add a line for your style, like this:
MyDrums=4,Ev,8,Pop,Rock,,,MyArtist,
The fields in the RealDrums Picker are comma delimited. You then need to close and re-open Band-in-a-Box for the changes to take affect. Note that this file is updated by PG Music, so you should keep a text file of your own with your drums in it (e.g. MyDrumsInfo.txt) and that way it is easy to add back your lines if DrumStyleInfo2.txt is replaced in a Band-in-a-Box upgrade.

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.
