I have a few bugs and suggestions to mention in regards to the RealDrums Picker Dialog:

1. REALDRUMS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE
When we select a new instrument in the RealTracks Picker and click "Generate Track" the track is generated for us and then the song plays with the new instrument.

With RealDrums, however, there is no "Generate Track" button in the RealDrums Picker. There is just an "OK" which *would* be okay if the new drums selected would be automatically generated as they are with RealTracks, but they are not. You have to manually regenerate the drums. This should not be necessary and both the RealDrums Picker and the RealTracks Picker should behave the same way in this regards (and in others too).

2. FAVORITES NOT BEING SAVED
In BIAB 2016 for Mac, Favorites are no longer working in the RealDrums Picker. The ones we entered in 2015 or in previous years are still there, but any new favorites are forgotten as soon as the dialog is closed.

Is this the same for Windows users?

3. TIMEBASE OPTIONS NOT INCLUDED
In the ReadTracks Picker there is a Timebase option...



Shouldn't there be a similar option in the RealDrums Picker? I can understand how we might not like the sound of drums that are stretched way out of range, but there really MUST be an option to actually have the drum track render at double or half time when that would bring the drums in the proper range of the song.

If our song tempo is 180 BPM and we like the particular sound and groove of some RealDrums that are intended for 100 BPM, it should be simple to assign those drums and have them actually render and play at 90 BPM in the song. Similarly, we should be able to assign a RealDrums track to play in it's NORMAL tempo range when that is twice the tempo of the current song.

It's the exact same principle as the Half Time and Double Time, but rather than stretching the audio out-of-range, it brings an out-of-range groove into the right range at a different speed.

Can this actually be done somewhere else in BIAB outside of the RealDrums Picker? I haven't figured out how to do that if it can be done, but it really should be an option available in the Picker.
