I am wanting to export a Realtrack sax solo. It has reverb. I want to export it dry.
I cannot figure out how to do this? Is it possible to make a Realtrack dry?
Regards,
Lance

In RealTrack Preferences there is a checkbox for 'Add Reverb to RealTracks'.

Thanks Rachael.
I unchecked the "Add reverb to realtracks" in the Realtrack preferences. However, when I listen to the playback in BB "587:Sax, Tenor, 2-Beat Rock Ev 110" I still hear the reverb tails.
Are Realtracks recorded dry by default?
Also, in Reverb preferences I turned off:
Enable Reverb Global
Enable Reverb (this song only)
Auto-Add Reverb to Realtracks. I set strength to 0%.
In Override Preferences I unchecked "allow loading of any of these settings"
Regards,
Lance

It is my understanding that the tracks are 'dry'. I still have 2013 but if you click on the part (Bass, Piano, etc), there is a spinner for 'A. Reverb'. It is in the row that has Volume, Pan, etc. Make sure that is 0.
If still no joy, try Rendering the song with 'One Wave File per Track' checked. That should be dry regardless of any other settings (I think).

Again, thanks for the assistance.
I do have the reverb slider at zero but to no avail.
Also, I tried the render method and the track still has reverb.
I am going to assume at this point that the realtrack is not necessary recorded dry.
If additional solutions are known by anyone please share them.
Thanks again Rachael.
Regards,
Lance

Some certain few RealTracks from the early days may not have a dry file included with them, so they just may have been recorded Wet.
Dry files entered the scene later, due to customer demands requests.
Go into the RealTracks folder, locate the Sax you are using, raw files, and listen to them with WMP or another software capable of playing back .wma or .wav files.
If the 'verb is on the raw RealTracks file in use, you can't adjust it or turn it off.

Hi Lance,
If you have the 2014 version of Band in a Box then go to the Master Radio Button (at the top of the screen) and right click on it and select Set Mix to Dry, Flat, Center.
If you have 2013 Version same thing applies except Master is called Combo.
It may help or not depending on what Mac said above.

Hi Lance,
Lots of good ideas here from some good people.
One thing that occurred to me was, is the sax track frozen? I'm not sure if effects are also frozen when 'freeze' is applied to a track.
If would be worth generating the track in Realband to see if reverb exists there. (Simply open you .sgu or .mgu song file in Realband.)
Realband will take a minute of so to generate the song when you open it because it works differently to BIAB.
Regards,
Noel

Thanks everyone.
Mac nailed it. The raw files are wet so I am stuck in this case.
It is nice to know that there is an easy way to determine if the reverb can be removed or not.
Best Regards,
Lance

Reviving an old thread here... Today I tried to generate a dry version of the Guitar, Electric, Rhythm, JazzFunkGroovin EV16, 110. After not getting it to work (and trying all the things listed above) I found this thread. I'm on BIAB 2024 Ver 1111. Is it still possible that after 10 years this is still the case with some of the real tracks? I would really like to use my own reverbs!!
Thanks,
<<TS>>

I can't see a Direct Input option for that guitar. If you have Reaper, to get the original recordings without any added FX you can use the BBPlugin in Reaper using Instructions only, this will load the source files direct with no processing. You also have an option of using: Working In Biab & Reaper Simultaneously and Instantly or Open SGU in Reaper ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=27754&filename=BB24-Transfer-Track-Reaper.gif)

But even if I freeze the track it still has reverb on it. I don't think there is a dry version of the realtrack.

I played the source files for that RealTrack and it has a lot of reverb.
This is why Direct Input only guitars are the way to go as you can add any FX you like to them, and rather than having 2 versions that take up more hard drive space, as down the track PG will have a lot of RealTracks.
