Realband 2010 Build 4
Windows 7 Home premium 64bit

I have 36 bars, 4 bar intro, then 32 bars A and B sections. I generate realdrums "Bossa then Swing". Bar 4, 12, 20, 28,34,35,and 36 are blank. Tried this several times with the same result. Thought maybe this realband file got corrupt, so I opened a new instance of realband and re- entered my chord progression. I had the same result. I tried all variations of bossa to swing, sticks and brushes, all with the same results. I then tried some of the other bossa realdrums and they generated just fine. Do I have a corrupt realdrums file? It's 2:30 am and I don't feel like deleting and reinstalling this realdrum style right now, just to see if that fixes the problem. Any ideas? Thanks, Bobby.

Hi Bobby,

Have you tried generating the Realdrums on a new and different track? I've found that sometimes if something doesn't go right, generating a new track on one of the non-BIAB tracks does the job.

Regards,
Noel

Yes Noel I have tried different tracks. I had the same issue in BiaB when I generated "Bossa to Swing" on someone elses midi file. I didn't think twice about it since I didn't know what might be in the midi file. I have now been working on my own realband arrangement with no midi and no Biab tracks. I should also mention that I purchased the "everything pack" during the Xmas sale so I have the latest updates for the realdrums. I also did a first time install from DVD's onto a brand new computer. I'm going to give support a call...Bobby

Hi Bobby,

Have a look under "Opt >> Preferences >> Arrange" and see if "Insert Breaks (silence) in arrangement" is checked. If so, uncheck it.

If the above didn't solve the problem, I'd try "Opt >> Return to factory settings". I'd choose the top option for the first reset and the bottom option if the top option did not work. BIAB will keep your original settings so that you can return to them if you wish. If you do a reset, close down BIAB and reboot your computer just to make sure that the reset sticks.

Noel

I just spoke to support. They were able to recreate the problem. The listed solution-download and reinstall realdrum updates. I did this, but the problem persisted. It will be turned over to the main tech guy on monday. I would like to take this opportunity to say how pleasant and helpful PG tech support is. I have every confidence that they will work to resolve my issue. Thank you everyone...Bobby

Realband 2010 Build 4
Band in a Box 2010 Build 297
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium


I called support again today, to add to my file,and be a little more concise with my problem. When I generate the "Bossa to Swing" realdrums it gives me a blank bar wherever I have a part marker. In other words, no fills for the transition between bossa to swing or swing to bossa. It does however generate the Bossa and swing patterns. This only happens in Realband. It works perfectly in Band in a Box. Anyone else want to try and duplicate this?.....Bobby

Yes every measure before a part marker be it blue or green is silent as in no drums.
