Anyone use this plug in, it seems to do a lot to punch up the RDs.

Still do not have a clue what it really does though.

Any thoughts on this one

And to think of the history.

When all we had available was the choice of using MIDI drum solutions or having available a great drummer, a great drumkit, a moderately great drum booth and a plethora of drum mics, preamps and inputs, the clamor was to get rid of MIDI.

So PG music came out with something so innovative that nobody saw it coming, and RealDrums were born.

Now the clamor seems to be to turn RealDrums back into MIDI.

Same with the RealTracks, too.

I would think that any RealDrum or RealTrack that also supports Notation, which is done via MIDI, could already be rerouted to fire MIDI stuff. You'd need a software that could translate the MIDI note numbers to suit the ones required on a particular MIDI synth solution, possibly also changing or redirecting channels.

But the above would be accurate. Dealing with converting the audio output of drumkit to MIDI, there would likely be some errors in translation that would require user intervention, editing, etc. of parameters in a lot of cases, I should think.

If you give it a go, let us know how it goes.

I have used KT Drum Trigger as a sort of 'toy' for about 8-9 years.

You can 'beatbox' with it, sending 'boom, check, siss' into 3 band pass filters that pass very narrow frequency content (roughly 500, 2000, 4000 Hz) into KT Drum Trigger, that then can send midi note on events to your favorite drum module of choice for kick, snare, closed hi-hat sounds.

I wrote about it in KVRAudio forums a very long time ago, and a guy with real beat box talents took the idea and went nuts with it. http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/printview.php?t=88341&start=0

I also shared it over at the Fender Forums - this thread might have more active .mp3 examples.

It could be a very interesting way to juice existing real drums with additional 'helper' sounds. http://www.fenderforum.com/forum.html?db=&topic_number=493783

I have to be honest that this little experiment with KT Drum Trigger made me fall in love with semi-modular DAW host software. It was the final step that converted me way back about 7-8 years ago. I had alot of fun with this just experimenting with it.

I love Rd they are nice but better mixes deserve separate drum tracks with the high end samples today that is possible.

I was fooling around with midi drum, split drum, and ezdrummer/jamstix earlier with some work it sounds live.

For live performance RDs are fine, some songs are great with signature midi drums.

For original tunes I like multiple tracked drums.

I was using the plugin above to process the drum tracks and pull out the separate frequencies.

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!

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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
