Drums are one of the instruments that MIDI does extremely well. The problem with BiaB's MIDI drum tracks are that they are 120PPQ. That can make a drum track sound static. A subtle humanizing in a DAW at 960PPQ helps a lot.

Also augmenting a BiaB MIDI drum track by either writing or adding a few parts and/or substituting sections with MIDI drum loops like Groovemonkee also helps a lot.

The best thing about MIDI is that you can have the drummer play what you want when you want.

Note that this is not diminishing the fact that RDs are useful. It is a choice and choices are good. I just prefer to work in MIDI most all of the time. YMMV

Edit - It looks like Notes and I were writing a similar message at the same time.

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
