Downloaded just fine this time.

Opened your songfile in my setup.

Heard Stick Countin at beginning.

It is certainly audible here.

The _ALLISF.STY. used in your song uses the "RD: NASHVILLEEVEN8^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride :Brian Fullen" RealDrums.

The Countin for that particular RealDrum sounds like the drummer did the countin taps by hitting the two sticks together rather than what some other styles might have done, such as the side-tap on the snare, which, of course would have more Volume, but the Stick Tap countin I get here is certainly usable.

I have plenty of songs using RealDrums that are not the Nashville RealDrums, they are Jazz RealDrums, such as the Brushes styles and others, that have the same type of "stick hitting stick" countin in them. It is audible, but it does indeed have a DIFFERENT TIMBRE to it, the two sticks not being able to generate some of the more Midrange heavy taps that a sidestick on snare or tom rim would bring to the thing.

That's not a bug, its just the way the countin was recorded, as per the style of the particular live drummer.

Maybe someone else will download your file and come up with something different, or a way for you to get the louder countin you are desiring with some sort of workaround, so stay tuned.

Countin is audible and usable here.
