I would like to change from a side stick snare in the verses to a regular snare in the choruses. The particular program in this song is "Blues Rock 128". I have seen the 6 side programs but can't make it change to them mid song. Thanks in advance for any help.
If you look at the notes/memo for the Blues Rock 128 Realdrums (lower right corner), it says....
1-a:SideStick, HiHat : The sidestick is played on beats 2 and 4 with the kick
1-b:Snare, HiHat : The snare is played on beats 2 and 4 with the kick drums on
What this means is that
1) the BLUE PART MARKER sections (1-a) will use the sidestick and hihat.
2) the GREEN PART MARKER sections (1-b) will use snare and hihat.
In other words, this style already has exactly what you need. All you need to do is click a couple of times on the bar number that is the first bar of your chorus until the color of the square around the bar number turns green.
When you have the green part markers in place, regenerate your song and you'll have have the change in drums that you're after.
If you'd like to find out a little more about part markers, the below link will take you to a short, 2 minute PG Music video clip on them. While the video uses an older version of BIAB, the principle is identical today.
Noel, Thank you so very much for your reply. I had understood about the colored part markers but I can't seem to regenerate the drum track recognize the changed part markers therefore it replays the same way everytime.
It sounds like the drum track is frozen. (I'm assuming that you have a latter version of BIAB.)
If you have BIAB 2018, right-click on "Drums" on the top menu and have a look under "Track Settings" to change the freeze status. (If the track is frozen, there will and asterisk before the track name.... that is, *Drums.)
Another possibility is that an audio file exits of the drums before the part marker changes were put in place.
To check this, mute the audio. (If you right-click on the Audio track menu item, 'mute' will be an option.)
Noel, thank you so very much for trying to help me. I have tried setting the part markers to A & B and selecting the A & B drum parts in the side box of the drum program. I have tried muting and unmuting the audio. It seems like I need to regenerate the drum part after I make the changes to make the program recognize the changes but I am embarrassed to say I can't find how to do that.
THAT'S IT!!!!!!! Thank you a million times. I have looked all over for the generate setting. Mine has a play button and a + button and I was looking too hard and didn't see it.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
