I'd use BB to generate a midi drum track.... trying to make a track that isn't boring is the hardest part.

Then it's just a matter of directing the midi out to the drum machine and doing what you want with the audio.

Use a good DAW to minimize the problems and confusion. Sonar or another good DAW can handle multiple midi tracks.


Years ago when it was Cakewalk Sequencing software, I saw a live band using CW Sequencer to run everything except the guitar and the bass. The two guys had programmed everything else including the lights, vocal processing, harmonizer and switching the guitar channels into Midi all running to different modules on stage and into the PA. I thought they were using backing tracks but they assured me it was all midi.

Midi is a highly capable protocol.

All that said.... Seriously, I find the drum RT's to be totally awesome sounding. For practicing, it's all you would need. EQ it and crank it up.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
