Can you just pick an existing real drum with the same timesig you need. Set the tempo in real band the the same tempo as the wav/wma. Set real band to 2 bar offset. Now drag the wav/wma into real band. You can now see where the count-in is. You can see where the pre fills and post fills are. You can see where the A section is. You can see where the B section is. You can see where the A ending is. You can see where the B ending is. You can see where the shots are at the end of the wav file.
If you look in the text file it will show where the count-ins, fills, post fills, endings, shots. The bar number is the last number on the end pattern,Count-in,0,5,0,2,-1 pattern,Fill,A,0,0,1,18 pattern,Ending,0,2,0,2,45 pattern,Normal,A,8,0,6,3 pattern,PostFill,A,8,0,8,1 and the 2nd number on the shots Shot,1,47,166,179,1,80;snare these bar numbers will correspond to the real band bars.
Now create your drums on the track/s below to match the real drum track count-ins, fills, post fills, endings, shots.
Now all you need to do is copy the corresponding text file, and with the guide drum track muted mixdown your new drums from real band. In the text file just change the wavename=xxxxxx_140_Style.wav to your drums/tempo name and save the text file with the same name also. Remove any "barsblocked" in the existing text file. Put them both in X:\bb\Drums\XXXXXDrums. Now go to the drum picker and rebuild. You will now see your new xxxxxdrums.
Just keep at it, you WILL get it, I betcha, it is just a bit daunting at first.
I am getting a lot of these ( attachments ) lately Followed by total software freeze and I have to restart RealBand !
I have been working with computers and software since the mid 90s but I have to say that this is the most complicated and user unfriendly software I have ever worked with !
I will give it this weekend but after that it's my money back !
The yellow one is normal, it starts up the actual band in a box app in C:\RealBand\Data\bbw2.exe to generate up the tracks. Yes it is a problem with real band crashing all the time !!!!!! they are suppose to be building a whole new version in C++ "RealBand In A Box" maybe this year if we are lucky.
You can do it in Cubase or Reaper if you are getting the crashing, just set the bar offset by -2 in them so you can follow the text file.
In Reaper - Project Setting - Project Start Measure = -1 In Cubase - Project - Project Setup - Bar Offset = 2

Well, that was a lot of effort for nothing - I hope others can use the info ! (and pg get on to that new RealBand in a Box C++ so users are not put off and give up by constant crashing anymore)
So I sent an email to PG about the 30 day money back guarantee and they ( Someone called Pauline ) replied that they wanted me to send them some request codes to deactivate the program.
So I did.
After that they got quiet.
I sent another mail asking if I will get some sort of confirmation about the deactivation to let me know if my case have been filed.
Nothing...............
I then went for the Live Help and lo and behold there was Pauline again acting like she's never heard of me or my case.
We chatted a bit and she told me that the person who handled this kind of things were not at office at the moment but that they now have my email.
It's going to be interesting to see if I will get my money back for the 3 products I bought and how long it will take.
I find it really strange that a program that has been around for this long has got so many problems/bugs.
And what about hot keys ! It's 2016 !
Nevertheless, -I like the concept of BIAB and there are simply nothing like it on the market but the issues I have experienced should have been taken care of before release. A program like this should inspire and not make the user frustrated and loose inspiration.
I will keep monitoring the forum to see what is happening and hopefully things will improve so I can give it another try.
PG should offer a Demo version !

I think that nailed it, my sentiments exactly. They have started now on the 2017 version, so that gives them 6 months to reprogram a solid C++ version, if there is not a profound change for 2017 that is it for me, Hasta la vista, baby. If so I will get into scripting in Reaper and create a script users can use and share instrument/drum tracks they have recorded/created and Reaper reads the BWF chord markers & Acid tempo within the wav file (created in Reaper's render dialog from the track makers) and then fits them to your Reaper's chord/marker track. Having very large forum with so many users there would be a large community input of tracks and further script development.

They should also do a complete overhaul of the GUI! IMHO it looks very dated !
Am I right when I think the dev team is very small, maybe just one person ?

Can you please PM me the name and email address that you ordered the product under? I can check to make sure it's handled, but I can't locate your order using the info in your forum profile.
