Now I think I can see that the "style" makes no difference at all in this scenario since I will be muting all the other tracks. Do I have that right?

The sound of the RealDrums is much better than MIDI drums I believe.

Do I have this down?

Thank you for being so clear.

Hi again smile

Yep, you understand it perfectly. All that a style does is to gather various drum and instrumental performances and collect them together to create a 'group or band'. Any track in any style can be replaced by other instruments or drums. I nearly always start with a style and then add/remove instruments.

If you want to hear the native recording of the drums so that you can appreciate the performance aspect, simply go to the folders in \bb\drums and listen to the various wma audio files. It is because Realtracks and Realdrums are live performances that BIAB is such a big program.\bb\drums and \bb\Realtracks are the files that use most of the disk space.
