I think you are going to have to go to MutiChannel drums eventually.
8ch drums wma is no bigger file size than the 2ch (see below).

and wav (or Flac)
Multitrack 8ch Drums 138.wavpak

Multitrack 8ch Drums 138.wav


You could have a Mixer panel as in RB, that pops up when new MultiChannel Drums are available:

None of our RealDrums have been recorded using a MIDI kit. They are all stereo recordings of a real Drummer in a studio. It would be the same as if you bought drum loops.

Though we use several mics to record them, all that is released is the stereo mix, and there isn't a way to isolate each instrument in the drum kit.



I think any new Drums you create should be recorded direct to multitracks with more mics then just several and have some midi drum/cymbal sensors also to get a midi drum track so you have an option to use your own Drum VSTi as well as have RealDrumCharts.

These are MultiTrack Drums I purchased, as you can see they come with MutiTrack Drum Loops also. I should also be able to use these MultiTrack Loops in BB with the MultiTrack Mixer for that Loop track.


This is wma though you could use another multichannel compressed format and use the same format in Mac & Win.

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.

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."
