Hello PG,

Real Styles Shots & Holds consist of a single drum hit, rather than a professional sounding multi-drum hit.

Are there any fixes to these after at least 10 years of asking - you could make the 49 User Request fixes up to a round 50 :-)

This thread has a discussion from 3 years ago:

I haven't had time to look at the workaround but it should be part of the basic program in addition to more Gbs of downloads.

Thanks!
M

Agreed. Of course if they created full kit drum punches the forum would get posts complaining about the drum shots being too loud, haha...

There are workarounds but if you want to stay in Biab then I can only think of the solution's here https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=460697#Post460697

The other way that is way too easy is in Reaper using ReaTrak to integrate Biab & Biab Plugin into Reaper.

You can get the chords/part markers into Reaper with "Biab Plugin Chords" or MusicXML,
you can generate up the Biab RealDrums directly in Reaper "Biab Drums".
Once generated you simply select the hold/shot and change it to whatever you like,
you can also adjust the timing and the volume.

Some drum tracks are really nice, and contain f.i too loud items like bassdrums too present in the general mix, or cymbals too loud especially on holds. The PSJJ effect i hate playing live with 'lousy' drummers. Editing them out in the original drumtrack waves is sometimes a lot of work but worthwhile.

Thanks Pipeline.

I generally only use BIAB, I probably need to carve some time out to look at RealBand more closely.

Actually the Surf Rock 2 example I was using has a Cymbal plus BD hit that would be perfect for Holds but would need to be shortened for a Shot.


I could also import the WMA into Sonar & combine individual hits but I don't know how much effect time stretching has on the sound - this is beyond why we pay for the convenience of BIAB, though.

The main point is that PG didn't think about how to produce professional sounding Drum Shots & Holds in the first place & have just left it as it is for 10 years.

Cheers
Murray
