6. Highlight the hit by zooming in to get it at the very start then highlight to the end of the decay, use shift + click to fine adjust. 7. Right click track in RealBand > Save Audio Track (or selection)... to wav. Same in a DAW, save the section to hit name.wav 8. To create your own kit for each RealDrum you use watch: Create a Custom Hydrogen Drumkit & Hydrogen drum tutorial 9. Or, download the drumkit.xml (drumkit2.xml has more advanced options in it, remove the 2 to use) open an edit with NotePad++ renaming the Drums name to the RealDrums you are creating and add any extra hits by copying all between "<instrument>""""""""</instrument>" and paste it after "</instrument>" then insert the filename.wav and the Drum Hit Name and giving it the next ID number <id>12</id>. You can add remove hits in the xml, just get the ID's in order. 10. Create a folder the same name as the RealDrums and place a copy of drumkit.xml
You can create a new drum section to overwrite the existing RealDrums bars or Merge it to the existing section to add extra hits. When you have finished creating the track you can Import it into the Biab Audio Track and move it to an Artist Performance Track if you like. If you turn the Master volume right up before Export it should be the same volume as the RealDrums track. On the Mixer don't have the Humanize or Timing up too much or Swing if it's even. You can use Hydro to create your own RealDrums or UserDrums http://realband.org/tutorial-drums1.html http://realband.org/tutorial-utd.html
