ok thank you very much for the help. Just one more quick question and thats how long do you play each bar? I mean, what is the time reference that you go by? I realise it will be determined by the tempo, but lets say I'm using Reaper to record with. How do I know which bar I'm at when recording? I see I could use real band to record, but my drums are in the living room and my computer is in my office so I have to use my Mac laptop to record with and thats using Reaper. I then send it to the NAS and work with the file on my main PC.Sorry for the stupit questions and thanks loads for the help.



Don't try to record one bar at a time or anyting like that.

First, find the RealDrums folder in your bb folder and use a media player such as the windows media player to listen to them "in the raw" as it were. Each RealDrum consists of an entire performance. Matter of fact, you can hear little clues in there as to the fact that a real live drummer, with a good kit in a well-mic'd drum booth actually recorded the thing while playing along with an entire target song in the headphones. That song is unrecorded and unheard though.

All that listing of parts by nunmbers, bars, etc. comes AFTER you have your drum part recorded as one piece, it is a matter of gong in there and finding the right points to tell the program to start here and play and then end there and then find another and repeat the process.

My description is rather cursory, but hopefully will get you thinking on the right path...
