some of the styles that I tend to play wtih do also have midi drums, they tend to be percussion.

What I would like is to somehow capture the "live" drums i.e. the RealDrums via midi i.e. at the time of recording. I know blasphemy but perhaps performed on an electronic kit.

My issue is that I need the midi drums since I can't mix a stereo drum track of the entire kit




Well I'm not sure whether or not the BiaB style maker keeps the midi drum patterns when you set it to RealDrums. But either way it seems logical to me that RB would assume that since the style has RealDrums assigned then it should just generate RealDrums.

I do see your point of view though. There are times where you might want the midi drums instead of or as well as the RealDrums.

I think the easiest way you could do that is to change the style. In BiaB open the style in the style maker and turn off the RealDrums. Then save it with a new name so as not to lose the original (or I suppose you could overwrite the original if you always want this behavior).

Then, when you create a song in RB using that style you will get midi drums. It would be easy then to generate RealDrums inside RB. Then you can mute either or mix them however you want. I'd personally think that's a pretty logical approach all in all.
