Hi Gang

I would love to see drum track kit pieces recorded on separate tracks in future, this would give us full control of what is included in the drum track, with the ability to mix pieces from different kits and also be able to mute/solo the separate tracks.

Hi Loopy Fruit and welcome to the forum!

I assume you want each percussion instrument (bass drum, snare, high hat, cymbal, etc.) to have its own audio track when you're using RealDrums since every midi note on midi channel 10 is already a different percussion instrument.

That request has been made many times. PG Music's response is all RealDrums recorded and released to date are stereo recordings.

So I will support the request with a +1 with the modification that I would like for all future RealDrum releases to be stereo and multi-track.

Multi-track works good in DAWs and RealBand but might not work so good in Band-in-a-Box because the software program is limited to eight tracks (7 instrument and 1 audio tracks).

User Pipeline has demonstrated some ways to create multi-track drums using midi and VSTi so search his posts.

Also, you can take the stereo RealDrums track into a DAW, duplicate the stereo track three times then EQ a different instrument of the drum kit with each track. Then you can group the tracks into a subgroup, adjust the volume of the three tracks to taste throughout the song and achieve some control over the content in that manner.

Yes, that was requested back in 1854, well seems like it.
You could have multichannel compressed and uncompressed drum files.
Having a Multichannel Mixer in a Tab and the master volume in the Mixer Tab.

You can have "Multi-Drums" on the Drum track realtrack/drums/loops/usertracks but it will pre-mix-render to stereo track then play.

Until then something like EZDrummer 2 is a good option.
