What if I want to use 3/4, 5/4, 7/8, 9/8 etc etc Is there a tutorial for dummies somewhere perhaps ? I've read this http://realband.org/tutorial-drums1.html http://www.pgmusic.com/tutorial_realdrums_stylemaking.htm Jazz! Sure - But far from smooth !

If, however, you are making a 4:4 style, your style is ready to be used! TimeSig=3 This would be used if you are making a waltz style. The line can simply be omitted when making 4:4 styles. In the style picker you can choose a TimeSig then have a look at the drum's text file in the the real drums folders x:\Drums Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) TimeSig Styles.jpg (38.4 KB, 171 downloads)

To make normal Usertracks was a breeze because then you only use the template file with the chord changes. I recorded with my DAW and then just made a folder and put the wav file and the template file in it and it works great. With Realdrums there is text files involved that adds to the confusion. And then there is the questions about odd meters. Originally Posted By: Pipeline Are you using a template or just making from scratch ?

Seems like they left out vital information in these tutorials. They say do this, and do that, but don't actually show you how to do it ! As far as I know I need to make a file (SGU or MGU ??) in RealBand with all the info (intros, fills etc etc) similar to the chord sheet used to making RealTracks and a wav file that correspond to that info and put those 2 files in a folder. (myRealDrums.wav and myRealDrums.SGU ) I would like to know how you make BIAB know where all the fills etc etc are ? It's probably much easier than it looks on paper ( or text on a computer ) With RealBand it seems easy to set the time signature I want but to fill in (insert) where all the intros and fills etc etc are, is still a mystery.

The problem now is that I can preview it just fine with the UserTrack dialog and it sounds just fine but it wont load into the program ! Jazz! Sure - But far from smooth !

You put the part markers where the fills are. Wherever you have an ending, you set it in the Bar settings. They have still to fix the Intros, it would be in the bar setting "2 bar intro starts @ this bar" I left the time sig on default 4/4 To try it just generate up the wav drums with real band for now. I set it to 36 bars and check 2 bar ending. I set bar 37 to blue part marker, after it generated I copied the last 4 bars to bar 17 thus creating a blue ending. I then changed bar 37 to green, highlighted the last 4 bars and regenerated drums, thus giving me a green ending. I set bar settings ending @ 17 & 37. I unchecked 2 bar ending and set bars to 40. I saved with "Drums" in the folder & filename. I chose SGU type and chose the real drum track as the wav.

I have to try this again because I am obviously missing something cause I keep failing to make a user track with drums that actually work. I guess there are very few people if any at all that make their own Realdrums due to the complexity in making them. I appreciates that PG Music has made it possible for the users to make their own RealTracks and RealDrums but there should be much clearer steps to make your own RealDrums and as you say there are things to fix. Thanks Jazz! Sure - But far from smooth !

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
