Shoot - I'm seeing this now too with 2010.5 (2)
All the realtracks come in as midi
I'm also seeing that I can drag realtracks from BAIB to RB just fine.
But when I drag midi - the tracks come in playing twice as fast.
I guess I'll jump back to RB 2010 and see if things return to normal.
An obvious question here, are you sure you have the same tempo set in RB as you did in Biab? Real Tracks are audio files so they would ignore the tempo when you drag them into RB unless they're being regenerated but the midi tracks will automatically play at the RB tempo.

That's Bob - that was it for the drag and drop.
On the "Open" BIAB file it's only the RealDrums that don't come in as audio.
So it looks like I can open the file in RB, then drag over the RealDrums for now.
thanks,

Hello, Quote:
On the "Open" BIAB file it's only the RealDrums that don't come in as audio.
One possibility is that you have 'Allow RealDrums' unchecked in the Options-Prefs-Song Generation dialog, and you are loading songs that didn't have specific RealDrums assigned to them, but rather used the 'substitute MIDI drums for RealDrums' setting in Band-in-a-Box.
Also, make sure your Drums folder in Opt-Preferences-Song Generation-[Paths]... is correct. If you're still having trouble feel free to send us a sample file that has the problem, and we can take a look.

It seems to have to do that I have set
Substitute Realdrums for MidiDrums -> Substitute Always ...
Rob has the file Twinkle.MGU, it has a realdrum track but comes in as midi in RB.

Hello raintalk, Quote:

Good point, I had overlooked that possibility. Yes, RealBand will treat automatic RealDrums substitutions as if they are "3/5", which is the default setting. If you have this set to 1/5 in Band-in-a-Box, the only time it will NOT substitute MIDI for Real, is if the MIDI drums are WAY better for that style than the RealDrums.
Of course, there are a number of ways to solve this - one is to just add the RealDrums to your song (Right-click on the Drums track) in BB. Another is to add them manually in RealBand.
Yet another solution, which doesn't involve editing any of your songs, is to make your own custom *.ds file. This can easily be done:
1. Find the file a_pgmusic.ds in your bb folder. Make a duplicate copy of this file, and name it whatever you want (but keep the .ds file extension). For example, MySubs.ds
2. Open this file with notepad or another text editor. This file defines all the MIDI/RealDrum substitutions, and users can make their own files.
3. Search and replace all the instances of "/1" and "/2" with "/3" (minus the quotes). Save the file.
4. Close and re-open Band-in-a-Box or RealBand if they were open. (this is an important step).
This will make RealBand behave as if it is set to 1/5. If you ever want to return to the default settings, just rename the .ds file extension to something else. e.g. MySubs.unused
Here is the file, which you can unzip and copy into your bb folder.
