A lot of the new MIDI drums were done at the same time the RDs were being recorded by using a midi controller so are completely editable and sound real.
Yes, that was my original point about midi from years ago. As for the multitrack stems absolutely, that would be great if they can pull it off.
I certainly could be wrong but wouldn't putting together say 8 multitrack drum files greatly increase the generation times? And I mean by a lot. Still, if it's that important to some then hit the button and go make lunch or something.
"should be option to generate intros, different endings and fills etc"
Sort of like the "generate riffs" for drums - would be sweet.
+1. That would be very sweet.
Some might find useful a tip provided to me couple of years ago (sorry I forget the forum member) to generate extra drum fills in biab to use in RB or your daw of choice.
Leave some bars at the end of your arrangement. This is where you create the fills. I usually mute all but the drum and then change the A/B switch (sorry i don't know what the blue green A/B substyle marker is properly called) every couple of bars. I usually leave a couple of bars between each change. Normally each time you change you should get a fill you can use.
Anyway, its not perfect, but it can help out. One good thing is that the fills are in the style of the drummer performing the rest of the piece.
Hope this made some sense to somebody
I attach an example of an imaginary 6 bar song with 6 fills at the end.

I take the real drums file drop them into Ableton and then convert sections, usually 8 bars at a time, to MIDI. That way I can manipulate all I want in my favorite drums program. Now that I've learned about the recordings having each drum at the end of was file I can create a drum rack in Ableton with the same sounds recorded on real drums track and still use real drums but augment with midi. looking forward to playing with this
The first person on YouTube I saw use and advertise the idea of adding extra measures to the end of a song project to generate fills was a Band-in-a-Box user named "dfizzbom". He published a nine set video series in 2014 that followed him as he created a song project in Band-in-a-Box, added extra tracks in RealBand then edited the song project in Reaper. +++ HERE +++ is a link to the video series.
Although the videos are beginning to show their age the series is still the best series I've seen that details the workflow process many users use to create a finished song project. In my opinion the videos continue to be "required viewing" for anyone wanting to use Band-in-a-Box to create polished song projects.
To visit this one more time I use FXspansion dr-008 drum sampler specifically to get the kick sound I want. You could do a whole kit that way using the RD samples at the end but MIDI drum styles split to seperate tracks.It came with Sonar 2.5.
