OK - I'm a total Newbie to RB really although have used BIAB for years. I understand that RB can make "loops". Having been unable to find an RD that has anything like what I need (a simple "tapped" closed hihat 75bpm, 4 to the bar - nothing else)I have found a sound sample on the Net that gives me almost the sound I want. Its just One Hit though - and I need 8 bars - thats 32 hits. Now I assume I dont have to open 32 tracks and put it in each one and shuffle! lol! How would I LOOP this sample so it gave me 75bpm and 4 to the bar. All help always gratefully received. Ian

Here is a tutorial on how to make a loop. The tutorial uses the free program Audacity, but the principles work within any DAW including RealBand. Be sure to include the acid info when you make your loop. How to create a seamless loop with Audacity To use your loop. Save it to the Loops folder. Rt click on a blank track, select generate, select 'Select and generate loops..." Choose your newly created loop and it will generate the loop for the entire length of the song. If you only want to play during a section of a song, highlight the desired area before opening the Generate menu and selecting the loop.

You can also find the exact RD drum samples in individual hits at the end of the RealDrums file in the bb/:realdrums folder. You'll notice they are a .wma (or.wav) file named as the RD style. Play one in Windows Media Player for example. It contains the patterns, rolls, a and b substyles, etc... Toward the end of the file you will find individual drum hits that match the RD style and kit used to make that style. It would be cool if PG would break these down into a packet full of individually named samples so we would not have to cut them out ourselves.
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

And to take Tobias' idea another step further, it would be even cooler if they supplied a MIDI synth (VST/DXI) that could use the same RD samples so we could blend in our drum ideas with RealDrums ...
I'd volunteer to help build the kits if they did. Obviously someone (or some system) is already in there marking measures and parts on the actual audio tracks, just add the single hits to the list...
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

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."
