I may be an old style player, but I can't believe that I could not find
any Real Drum styles to replace my MIDI Rumba styles.
Most of my BIAB library is jazz, bossa and rhumba and using bossa
rhythms for the bossas AND rhumbas is a bit too much.
Any suggestions? Am I missing them somewhere?
I just bought the Ultra Pack for Mac and have all the styles installed.
Thanks

There are some Rhumba RealDrums in the Windows version. I assume the Mac is the same. Rhumba, RhumbaFull, and RhumbaPerc. There are other Latin drums such as Salsa, Mambo, and Tango. Try the BossaTerryClark drums. I like them better than the Bossa kits.

Thanks Rachael. After a call to BIAB I was able to locate the styles you mentioned.

Some of the other styles, such as Jazz and Rock have Latin characteristics in them. You'll see them as you go through the styles and read the info. My favorite way to look for certain styles is to go through the demo songs; they load fast and give you an idea of what's there. There are just under 5000 of them.
Good Luck,
Dennis

Do you realise how long it would take to listen to all 5000 demo songs?
At an average of 3 minutes per track...
3 x 5000 = 15000 minutes
15000 divided by 60 = 250 hours
250 divided by 24 = 10.41 days WITHOUT A BREAK!

Well, I have.
But it was done over a long time, starting with BB 3 or so. I really can't recall the actual version number I started out with, but do indeed remember that it was on a Windows 3.11 machine, one of those Compaq portables that looked more like a Singer Sewing Machine than a computer *grin*.
As each new styles folder was released, I would spend the time Juking the new folder's demo songs in the background while doing other work. When hearing something interesting, would make a note of it.
Knowing the Styles well is not mandatory, but for the pro who works day in and day out, it can become that way.
Just pick one demo folder at a time and Juke it in the background. You may not hear them all, but I can almost guarantee you will hear something that may be the impetus to a new experiment, songwriting experience or production number.
One of the tricks I use is to start the Jukebox on the Demo Song folder and then MUTE the Melody track. That way I only hear the accompaniment part. This really gets the creative juices going on some of them.

What Mac said!
And as background music, it's often much better than the radio. Since so much of it is unfamiliar, it doesn't distract me while I work on something else (because, otherwise, I'll be singing along). But every so often, something really strikes my fancy and I listen more closely. Those are the ones I take notice of for future reference.

Hey Jazzsax,
Just a quick tip>I live in Mexico now and I get a LOT of requests for Bolero's and Rhumba's, etc. I find the Bolero Real drums works very well with both of these styles (Bolero being from Mexico and Rhumba from Cuba) As long as your tempo doesn't exceed 130, you should be fine.....
Hope that helps,
Ed
