I havent been following lately the revisions of realtracks

but is there an style or an ending which sounds like those in rock concerts where the drum rolls, the cymbal rolls, the bass guitar rolls, and then suddenly all come down to a grinding halt ?

I doubt that you will currently find that style of ending currently in BiaB

That is an excellent item for the wishlist.

To extend your request, we can also imagine some Ending RealTracks in different genres of styles (Rock, Hard Rock, Pop, Ballad, Country, ...).

That is a great idea John-Luke. These types of endings could really value-add to the product. I hope the O/P places a wishlist item.

I have not found it if there is...... but you can always make your own.


BB also doesn't have the kind of ending where the music stops and holds and the drums smack either one or a triplet...

Single smack>>> https://app.box.com/s/8zwr48mczf1isj64tnwu

Triplet smack>>>> https://app.box.com/s/i7g5w4sz5bq83semzwii

These endings were done with audio editing. I think... I'd have to reopen the original files, but the triplet may have been created with a drum synth and tuned with EQ to match.

If you are creative and have the time and patience, lots of possibilities exist. You just have to think.... how can I do that thing I'm hearing in my head.

At the end of a lot of the actual wmv files used to create the Realtracks there are often a variety of samples.
Cymbal crashed and other drum hits are often recorded separately one at a time, these can be used as 'samples' to create what you need to match the existing sound. You need to copy the drum or cymbal you want and paste it where you want, or use a VST sample player to do it. It's really not that hard.

Some realtracks have unique things hidden in them also, but the drums are usually pretty easy.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I got the impression the O/P was maybe looking for an ending like this:

Night Birds - Shakatak Live - Ending

Maybe the O/P can confirm?

Also: There a guide here for creating intros/solos/fills/4 bar endings from your existing drums
http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=265437
also some Drums with intros/solos/fills/4 bar endings and in the wav's there are heaps of individual hits from the kit at the end.

I was actually thinking the same thing.... And creating an ending such as you gave for an example is not impossible, but it takes some work and creative editing or programming a drum synth such as Jamstix with midi.

I didn't have any endings close enough to that in my stuff so yeah... thanks for taking the time to find that.

Perhaps on the next song I write/record that could use such an ending... I will play around and see if I can create that from BB/RB or if I need to go outside the box to do it.

Thanks Herb
Yeah
When I was thinking about this I went looking on YouTube for some 'big' endings, and I started with Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and Elton John. They all had great endings - but they all took three and a half days. That was a bit out of the question.

I have always been a big fan of Acid Jazz and Jazz Funk, and therefore Shakatak, esp. Bill Sharpe (who incidentally must have about 30 fingers on each hand), so went looking for one of their live performances, an voila, this was what I expected the O/P might have meant.
