I just upgraded to 2010.5 and it seems pretty stable. My only problem with RB is that when I open a BIAB song that has a MIDI based drum track, it "converts" it to a RealDrums. I say "converts" because it's not even close to the original MIDI drums. I tried unchecking that option under preferences but the program insists on converting the drums. I can see them initially on the tracks, then the render window takes over and the MIDI drum track is erased.

Any ideas?

Check the RealDrums Settings button, found by punching the icon that is a Drum with the .wav graphic on it.

There at top you should find the checkbox that substitutes realdrums, uncheck it.

I could not find that icon in RB so I assume you meant BIAB.
Unfortunately that doesn't work. I unchecked all the RealDrums options in BIAB - same thing.

Oops! You're right, I gave ya BiaB directions.

Let me check out the new RB first and get back to ya on this...

In RB, Prefs -> Song Generation and uncheck "Allow Realdrums" may do the trick.

This was brought up at one time. Real band will ALWAYS generate a Real Drum track. If you want the Midi drum track you have to right click on an empty track choose generate midi part/drums.
Remember Mac. To us it was a bug but Jeff said that's they way it's to be. Unchecking that doesn't change it.

Hey - that worked!
Doesn't make sense why or how, but it worked.
I should mention that even when I pick Drums as the track type, it displays an acoustic piano. Odd, but I can live with it.

Thanks guys for digging that one out!

That is because the MIDI Percussion track uses the same numbers as the Melodic tracks. The "Standard Drumkit" is MIDI Patch 001, same as the Grand Piano. If you are seeing the Grand Piano icon it is because somehow you haven't "told" RB that this is a Percussion bank track. The drunkits are located every 8 numbers down the list of 001 to 128.


Good call, Silvertones!

If you set the track to channel 10 it'll at least say "Drums"
