I've done a little more looking around on this topic and this is what I've discovered.

1. Instrumental volumes for Realtracks can be set in Stylemaker's "Misc | More".

PG Music often use this to adjust instruments/tracks so that the final sound of a style has all instruments balanced to '90' in the mixer.

The IMAGE 1 below shows how to do this.

  • select the BIAB track (#1)
  • select the instrument (#2)
  • offset the volume (#3)

The net result of this is that if the same RT is generated on different BIAB tracks, it's possible that there will be a volume difference because the volume settings for each track might have been offset differently in Stylemaker. Such settings will affect RTs on those BIAB tracks.

When Realdrums are generated on those tracks, though, these offset settings don't seem to have any impact.


2. Realdrums can be adjusted under Stylemaker's "Misc" settings.


3. In addition to this, Realdrums also have a volume offset setting in the text file that accompanies them.

For example, looking at the file...

  • BluesBBEven8^01-HiHat,Ride_120_Style.txt

...that's found under "bb | drums |BluesBBbluesEven8^" and provides the instructions for 'BluesBBEven8^_120_Style.wav', the volume settings for the drums can be controlled.

These are shown on IMAGE 2 below.


Given the above, and that Realdrum volumes are often louder when the Realdrums are generated on any track other than the Drums track suggests that the instrumental tracks do no fully interpret the dB offset settings in the .txt file instructions.

Just my 2¢ worth.
