I want to add individual MIDI Drum tracks for songs I am mixing in RealBand. I generated a Midi Drum Track, but what is the next step. When I solo this track all I hear is a click, and a cymbal. When I click on the Drum kit symbol it comes up, but, no sounds when I hit the individual drums.


Can I use the HI-Q samples? If so how?

Ok on third try I generated a + - 7 piece set, now I want to change those sounds. Still no sound when I hit the drum kit. I want to bring up the cowbell a bunch SNL reference:):)

What is your MIDI playback device? Internal / External?
What channel do you have set? 10?

Also, how do you 'hit' the individual drums?

In a different tread I was addressing the question of how to setup Hi-Q Drums as my default. I don't have any sounds coming from the RD drum kit when I hit it? I'm clicking my mouse on the drum.

I am using internal sounds, wondered if I could use the HI-Q samples that come with ?RB?BIAB.

I have no Idea how to set this up. I generated the MIDI tracks for Drums in a RB song. But, even though I selected to generate DRUMS it generated 7 tracks, violin, bass etc....

If you are using the animated drum window, I think that only works with the default device. But I haven't used that in a long while.

There is a symbol on the top right of RB DRUMS, and it opens up a great big drum set with every imaginable drum. That is what is not giving me any sound.

What is the default device? Coyote Wave table, could the default device be changed to BIAB drum sounds, or other HI-Q samples?

I think this particular feature uses the Windows default sound only ..
If you posted a screen shot of the method used I could confirm.

just get one of those free drum vsti's and load it in the midi drum track (right click Specific VSTi for midi track, right click Open VSTi Panel) - they both have a mixer in them and lots of midi patterns included with them that can just drag into the midi drum track.
