OK, I get it that you don't care how long I and others have done it and that's fine; Maybe 30-40 minutes or so.

I didn't present what I thought was simply a helpful option as a substitute for what you wished for - but rather as a way to noticeably improve a RD track within the confines of the current program. I used RD for a couple of years before somebody posted this option.

Cheers

Bud I don't know why I jumped back into this subject again. I posted a BIAB Wishlist post called something like Super Duper Real Drums no longer than a month ago requesting separate drum parts for RealDrums. Most of the same statements are resurfacing. At my experience level I am not getting good results within a day or two if I have to edit a drum track.But, I do recognize and appreciate that you and others have much superior skills (and experience) than I have with respect to editing drums. And I most certainly do care that you and others are willing to share tips and tricks here.

My total frustration is with syncing MIDI drums with real drums, a problem which I have not solved. And removing entire beats in a drum track when a loud low tom or cymbal is struck right on top of the Kick or Snare. I'd love just to lower the volume of the unwanted tom or cymbal. I end up trying to wiz-e-wig it out with a combination of EQ and Dynamics. To no avail it always screws up the Kick or Snare. No matter how many times I regenerate the drum track this collision occurs somewhere within the song. One sound needs to stay on that beat and the other has to go. I find myself searching for that OTHER BAR IN THE SONG with exactly what I want and doing the ole cut and paste thing.

Bud, Please know I am grateful for your assistance, I read and try to implement as many of the suggestions I read here on the forum. Some times it is a matter of time, for me, before the suggestion sinks in.
