Does anyone know whether it is possible to copy the Multiriffs and bar settings from one project to another?
I'm trying to save an old project I made that had multi-drums in the style, which is still causing problems after I tried to substitute the drums with drums that has stems. The stems show in the mixer but won't play. Actually, the audio waveforms from the stems are non existant when I click on the tracks tab.
Some time ago, Simon mentioned the way to avoid this problem is by not using styles with multidrums.
So with all new projects I've been choosing styles without multidrums.
I was hoping I could save an old project by copying the chord sheet, with all it's settings, so I didn't have to do all the legwork with assigning multiriffs, etc.
But, I noticed after I'd copied everything over to the new project, the multiriffs and bar settings didn't copy with everything else.
Is there a way around this?
If not, is there a way to identify which multiriffs are being used?
I apologise if this has already been answered elsewhere.
Thank You.

Do you mean preserving the old project with tracks as already generated and then editing it? Try opening the file in RB and see what happens. Or dropping and dragging into RB. Then you can re-open in BIAB if you save as a BIAB file. Or this may not be what you want to do at all! If you drop the wave files into RB see what happens. Get back to the forum if this is not what you wanted.

I think what I would do is make a copy of the song by saving it under a new song name and start working with that. But I think you might be saying that you highlighted the old song, did a Ctrl+C, created a new song, and did a Ctrl+V to Paste the old song in. Is that right? If not, please explain.

Matt, yes, that's what I did.
I dragged over all the bars on the chord sheet, copied and pasted them into a new song. I then picked all the same Realracks as in the old song, except for the drums. I was hoping that the adjustments I had made in the old song with the bar and multiriff settings would have copied over with everything else, but now I'm guessing it's a lot more complicated than that.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. Hmm. I really have no idea why highlighting a song and copy/pasting it would not transfer everything, nor do I recall ever seeing any posts or instructions on what would get copied and what would not. Some years ago, they added the ability to have more than one copy of BIAB run at the same time (checkbox setting), which I thought was done expressly for this purpose.
I'm going to send a note to the developers about this.
In the meantime, would it work to just make a copy of the song under a new name and modify that?

I don't think dropping it into RB will change anything. When rendering the stems to WAV, etc. There is no audio waveform, only an empty audio file. The workaround is to avoid using styles that contain multidrums. Unfortunatly with the old song I'd already used a style with multidrums before I'd found out about the workaround.

I don't know if this helps....
When you have all bars highlighted, go to Edit>Copy Special menu. There are a few options there. See if any work for what you are trying to do.

Drone, What I would try is the following... 1) Save you song with a slightly new name and work on this newly named file. (This preserves the original file if you need to get back to it.) 2) Right click on the Drum track. (See image below.) 3) Select "Track Actions" and then select "Erase Track." Save the song and regenerate. This should clear the multidrums for you. You can then add whatever single drums you want to. Doing it this way should give you a song file with everything that the original file contained except the multidrums.

Noel, I tried this and had strange results. The realdrum with stems played fine up until bar 9, from bar 10 there's only silence. You can see from this image of the stem tracks: ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Xqhm38Wv/BIAB-Tracks.jpg)

Did you try erasing the multidrums on your original file before you added stems?
Something that I'd try is (a) erase the multidrums first, (b) save the song and regenerate it to make sure the drums are fully removed, and (c) add stems after doing this.

Noel, yes, I erased the drum track. But, I'm going to try again with different drums. I know this is slightly off topic, but can you tell me if it's possible to tweek the individual drum sounds that make up a multidrum track, e.g, increase the volume on the kick or hihat, etc. If so, I could work with that for this song.

Multidrums are a collection of Realdrums and it's not possible to tweak the individual sounds in Realdrums. The best that can be done with multidrums is to change the volume of an individual drum choice so that it sits better in the overall sound. To see the options available, do the following. 1) right-click on the drum track 2) select Multi-drums (multiple drum tracks) 3) select Edit Multi-drums for this Song ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=30673&filename=multidrums - edit.jpg)

To my knowledge, the only things that are copied by selecting the chordsheet are the chords and lyrics.
In my opinion, the best way to go is Noel's suggestion of saving a copy of the song file then removing the multidrums and re-adding the drums on separate tracks.
