I love the RealDrums, but they always seem quieter than the other instruments when I open BiaB files into Realband. I've been using RealDrums successfully since they came out by always cranking up the volume and adding compression to get them as loud as the other instruments. It just seems like I shouldn't have to do that. In 2010 I upgraded to the Audiofile edition in hopes that would remedy the situation. Now I have BiaB 2011 Audiofile edition and still hoping that the RealDrums would be louder, but they seem the same as always.
My question is whether I have some settings wrong.
Typically, I make a rough outline in BiaB first. Then I open the file with RealBand to refine it. Shouldn't the drums be about the same volume as the other instruments when I start out? It just seems weird that I feel like I need to crank the RealDrums as loud as they will go and often add compression just to keep up with the other instrument tracks. All other real tracks and/or other MIDI tracks seem to be balanced volume-wise as soon as I open the file with ReadBand.
Am I doing something wrong?
My platform is Windows 7 64bit
Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Johnny Only

I find the same issue here as well, what I do is highlight the track or area, and right click and choose audio effects - gain change and bump up the volume that way works great. Just don't get carried away until you get a feel for how much to add.

Like Rob said:
"Wall of Drums" then I mix to that. Put limiters on the masters and I have very hot tracks.

I have experienced the same thing, in both realband and band in a box. BIAB has a setting that allows you to boost the realdrums by "n" dB, realband does not have that. So every time I generate a track, I use the gain change effect. It would be nice to not have to remember to do the extra step, but at least there's a workaround.

OK there is a fix IF you want to try it.It requires an audio edit program however that will allow a script to be recorded and then allow this script to batch process a whole bunch of files. I would only do this on one RD folder at a time. Adobe audition will batch process.
You open a file using the instructions in Audition to record your script. What you'll be doing is recording the moves to increase the level of one RB file. Then you can tell Audition to batch process all of the files in that folder. Go have a beer while it works.
