*Before first use, go into RealTrack Picker, "Show All" and uncheck "Show RealTracks that are N/A" then click the "Copy List" this may take some time. Do the same in the RealDrum Picker. You will then have RealTracksList.txt and RealDrumsList.txt in C:\bb\Data.
Open the ahk script with NotePad or text editor, set it to your paths then save:
I also found out that I was missing a majority of the drum audio files (BIAB looks them up on internet)
Is there a way do download it all locally?.
I found an old link in the forum from 2015 (Jim Fogle) to download them all as per 2015, but I wonder if there is a more recent way get them all downloaded locally. I merged it together with my current demo and it seems to work fine (I don't know how many audio files I still miss).
Install www.autohotkey.com V1 then set C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe to Run As Administrator by right click if you are running Biab As Administrator.
*Before first use, go into The Style Picker, "Clear Filter", then Actions > "Copy List to clipboard" this may take some time. You will then have StyleListTabDelimited.Txt in C:\bb\Data.
Also Actions > Set Dialog Options > Show current style in list even... > "never"
Open the ahk script with NotePad or text editor, set it to your paths then save:
txt := "C:\bb\Data\StyleListTabDelimited.txt"
You can run the script from anywhere or create a folder C:\bb\Scripts
I am playing around a bit with the Random Instrument and Drum picker.
I did put in a request in the BIAB wish list quite a while back to have a more simplified Audit function for the RTs and RDs as well as styles.
Basically to be able to mark up a selection or otherwise specify a selection, and then to select a play length in seconds, and then to be able to press the play button once (or step by step) and having the system play through the whole selection one by one (for for the given duration for each).
Then I could lay back in my couch just listening through them all and make a mental notation of the ones I like and take it further later on.
It seems that this script could be used for this with some minor modifications. I am almost there with the drums.
ie make the selection as now with genre, tempo, feel etc, add feature to add duration, and instead of random make it a linear play just make the script play through all drums in the specified selection (or keep random and add a new linear play as well).
There are plenty of ready made AHK scripts to handle the csv/tab delimited txt files that you could modify to play the results. I think if you have mp4 video RealTracks/Drums you could even get it to play them as video preview. You don't need to wait years for something to be implemented if you use AHK.
In the search section if it finds "^" in the drum name it will use *01_solo.wma but if you read the txt files in any drums folder for any with "^" you will get the number of variations that you can add in the search and play *01_solo.wma *02_solo.wma *03_solo.wma
or you can read DrumGrooveNames.txt AmericanaSlow8sBrushesFred^ AmericanaSlow8sBrushesFred^\AmericanaSlow8sBrushesFred^1-A,B$3$2 AmericanaSlow8sBrushesFred^\AmericanaSlow8sBrushesFred^2-A,B$3$1 AmericanaSlow8sBrushesFred^\AmericanaSlow8sBrushesFred^3-A,B$1$2
also if you want to hear with the band *01_band.wma
