Thanks for the reply. You folks are very considerate to help.

OK, here's what I mean by pushes don't work. I type them in but the drums (and everything else) still come in on the 1 beat instead of the and before the 1 beat. When I called PG to ask about it, their words were pushes work on some styles, not on others.

I checked the velocity of the pushes on Real Drums and found it was zero. So I increased it and that didn't help.I decreased it, didn't help.

I increased it on Real Tracks and it worked somewhat but in a way that didn't sound like a push. It was strange.

As far as my experience, I worked with midi tracks all the time before I got 2016. I did it enough to put together a one our show of standards. I worked with the notation and the piano roll to make changes when I needed to. I even found a way to save them, something I was told I couldn't do.

If you have any ideas, please let me know. I really would prefer to use mostly Real Tracks and Real Drums. If I can't, I am going to have to figure out the answers about using midi and possibly buy more software that has better patches.

Thanks again.
