Hello,
I'm on the Version 2022 (912) of BB.
I am trying to perform some changes to the drums on the "Old-Timey Pop Country Ballad".
I want the drums to kick in only on the last measure of the intro (which is 4 measures) and I want the drums to have a differerent pattern from the default one in the real drum style.
The strange thing is that erasing notes (events) is done correctly (I sucessfully deleted the events on the first three measures, these are not playing), but on the fourth measure, the previous style is still playing, even though I can not see these events (I see the ones I have entered myself).
As if the track is being stubburn to accept the new events.
I don't understand what is going on.
The track is not frozen, but I'm not regenerating on play either. If I do regenerate, I can see the regenreated events (which I undo, because these are not the beats I'm looking for, to say in star wars terminology).
I don't know where to look, given that deleting the events from the other measures did work.
Something stange seems to be going on the the fourth measure.
Regards,
|

Hi Luke. Welcome to the forums  It sounds like you are working with Realdrums. If that's the case, the drum name will be green. In BIAB the drum names of MIDI drum tracks will be yellow. Realdrums are audio recordings of real drummers playing real drum kits. When BIAB generates a backing with audio material, Realdrums and Realtracks, it copies and pastes bars of the material. Audio is not easily modified. The notes you are seeing in Piano Roll Mode and Notation Mode are MIDI transcriptions of the audio performance. Changing notes on this transcription will have no effect on the underlying audio. It is possible to use that MIDI information and to run it through a Drum Softsynth such as EZ Drummer and create drum tracks. I often do this in my DAW when I'm creating a production. It is possible to use these MIDI drum transcriptions with a softsynth in BIAB. The process is an advanced technique. I'll write up a pdf for you on how to do it. Just give me a day or so. Regards, Noel

Hello Noel,
that makes sense.
I even deleted the notes and still heard drum sounds.
The Drums are in green indeed as you mentioned. So these must be real drums.
I saw this audio stream that was playing indeed, in the audio edit window.
It was a bit confusing, but now I understand.
Too bad that the drums can not be re-generated based on the piano roll, that would be a great solution.
Makes me think about the trackers that I used in the good old Amiga days, where this would be very easy to do.
I would be very interested on how you do this in your situations.
I think that could help others on the forum too.
Either way, thanks for the explanations, at least I know I have to stop trying to edit the transcription.
Many thanks,
Luke
