I'm not sure if any of the styles take this into account, but it would nice to have a specific drum file, related to the main theme,that plays at the start of a solo. Alos, perhaps have the drums build from beginning to end of solo. This might give a more realistic impression. I don't know the program that well yet, but I'm not seeing how this is currently possible or if this is something that could be considered.

I suppose you might try increasing the number of fills at the stage where you want that increase in intensity. But otherwise yes I support anything that takes account for the need for dynamic variation to make a backing track seem more 'interactive' with the soloist.

You could possibly use function key F5 at each progressive bar to increase the volume of the drums.

Yes, you can do this with F5 just as Videotrack showed.

Unless we are talking about just a few bars, I agree the Louder By option will work but get quite loud quickly, so I sometimes use the Change By instead, and do this several bars apart. Small values like 1 or 2 do a lot over a few bars to breath life into a part. You can Return to Normal later, or enter a negative number for a decrescendo.

Oh, and xxreverb, Welcome to the forum.

Why not just dump it into a DAW and volume shape it to your exact taste?

Another solution, since this is the Wishlist, is to add support in BIAB or at least RealBand for automated faders in control surfaces.

I'm pretty sure the wish here has nothing to do with changing the volume, and everything to do with wanting actual drum solos for the different styles. Alan S. understood this and made a relevant comment, but then the volume tangent was introduced and THAT is what "built".

Back on track, eh? I think the actual wish is a great idea.

You could be right. You also might not be right. We can only deal with the written word. Clarification from the original poster would help a lot.

Absolutely agreed! That's why I led with my indication of a lack of total certainty. wink
