If you do not already have the Band-in-a-Box SuperPAK and UltraPAK; or the PowerTracks Pro Audio PowerPAK PLUS and PowerTracks Pro Audio MultiPAK, then this Add-on is for you!

Please note that RealBrushes require Band-in-a-Box 2007 or later, or PowerTracks Pro Audio 12 or later.

RealBrushes are available in a variety of Jazz, Pop, Rock, and Country styles played with brushes.  Set 1 is an all-purpose set which includes these RealBrushes styles:

RealBrushes are live audio styles that you can use in Band-in-a-Box, PowerTracks Pro Audio, and most other audio recording programs.  They replace the MIDI drum track with actual recordings of top studio Jazz/Bossa/Rock/Country drummers playing brushes!  These are not looped samples; they are full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars, playing along in perfect sync with the other Band-in-a-Box or PowerTracks Pro Audio tracks.  

For example, choose a Jazz style, and you will now hear lush Jazz brushes, exactly as you'd hear if the drummer was in the room with you.  They sound like a real drummer, because they are recordings of a real drummer.  The results are dramatically better than the brush sounds in MIDI drum kits.  You’ll find that adding a real instrument to the mix makes all of the Band-in-a-Box and PowerTracks MIDI parts sound more authentic.  As well as improved brush sounds, you are hearing the exact rhythms played by the drummer, including features seldom heard in MIDI such as subtle brush accents, variations in ride cymbal taps, and complex fills.

You can control your RealBrushes using the same Band-in-a-Box dialog that controls RealDrums.  It allows you to set whether you want to hear RealBrushes with all styles, no styles, or somewhere in between.  You can also choose specific RealBrushes styles to play with any song.  In PowerTracks Pro Audio the RealBrushes will play in time with the current tempo setting.  You can choose the style of RealBrushes to play with each track and use different RealBrushes and RealDrums styles within one song.  In either program it’s simple to add fills, style variations, rests, shots, and pushes to your arrangement.

That’s just the beginning…
PG Music’s RealBrushes add an exciting human element to your Band-in-a-Box and PowerTracks Pro Audio arrangements and much more.  They can be used for almost any other audio recordings too.  Record the live audio output of RealBrushes through a mixer, or export RealBrushes tracks as wave files for use with most popular audio programs.  And remember, you can program RealBrushes to play fills, shots, pushes, rests, and pauses as well as tempo changes and variations in playing styles.  If your recording project calls for brushes, you’ll want to use RealBrushes... and you can!
