I have a great RealDrums track going but aside from the great beat it lays down, I'm having trouble controlling the ending. I want the ending to be six shots in a row on a snare drum for example, but the RD track just seems to put an arbitrary sound down on the beat (toms / snare / ride cymbal, etc). It doesn't sound good. I don't have a problem controlling where to put the shots, it's just I want the drums to play a specific drum or combo on a particular shot. I'm guessing I can't control this since it's an audio track? If not, would the next best/easiest solution be to create a midi track and manually "duct tape" the shots at end. BTW I've deleting the BB standard 2 bar ending and just extended the song with 2 bars so I can have more control.

Yes, I do this all the time, using MIDI drums manually to add a cymbal or tom tom hit etc. to augment the Real Drums.

It would be sensational if PG included one shots of drums, kick , snare, toms , cymbals for each kit they record....

cheers

Thanks Matt - playing around I found a couple of tricks that were pretty cool. One was to simply re-generate the track and eventually there would be an intro / ending with a variation of the shots that sounded better. Another was this - I imported the BB file into RB, then found a particular shot I liked. Then, I deleted the shots I didn't like and copied and pasted in the shot I wanted in place of the deleted shot. Of course, if I re-generate the audio file everything is lost but still this does offer some flexibility without going to the MIDI route, and by retaining the consistency of the drummer. I'm finding that I like the pattern of working in BB first for the basic stuff and then going to RB. Still learning the basics at this point. Thanks -Jeff
