Um if you go to help and type in the index Reverb and then click on the first part where it just says Reverb you will have lots of answers for there are multiple choices.

It would be good to add in your signature line your computer, operating system, and the VERSION of Band in a Box you are using, for I'm not able to answer questions about some of the older versions, I've forgotten when what was wound wonderfully willy-nilly weirdly..(never mind the alliteration) into the pwogram. Wow. Two upside down M's. MoM on her head.

Not to my knowledge, that slight reverb is on the tracks themselves.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Click on the track button - it should be green if it is RT or RD - and use the 'A. Reverb' adjustment (under the Strings part). You also have the 'Aud. Rev' button on the tool bar. This is a general adjustment as the A. Reverb is for individual tracks.

The real Tracks are recorded with some reverb however, and you'd want to check with PG, they used to offer you the option of getting the real tracks "dry" if you want them. They didn't charge for this at the time.

Thank you. The "reverb" button seems only to work with my midi tracks . . . not the realtracks. But I'll keep trying another way.

Be sure to select the part. Once selected, the 'A. Reverb' should be enabled.

There are two reverb adjustments, M. Reverb for Midi and A. Reverb for Audio. They are enabled only when the associated track is selected. If the A. Reverb adjustment is not enabled, the track is not RT/RD.

The Aud. Rev button on the toolbar is an overall adjustment for all RD/RTs in the song.

Really, as I said, hit help > index > type in Reverb...at least for this it's got all you need to know methinks.

You also have the option to use a plug in.

Or take it to another program, RealBand, Realtracks or (Grim) Reaper.

Well I learned something!

There was a bit of talk a while ago about the reverb on the realdrums in the RB forum, and that program doesn't add any audio reverb, so my mind immediately jumped to that scenario. There is 'X' amount that will always be there (in the realdrums tracks themselves), unless you could get the tracks dry as Silvertones suggested.

Bob, look at Options, Preferences, Real Tracks. Over to the right, there is a checkbox for Add Reverb to Real Tracks.

There is also a percentage (default 100%) that does NOT mean 100% wet, but determines a range that can be used by the A. Reverb setting.

That was going to be my suggestion.

BiAB is an amazing application but I don't do any sound adjustments within it except maybe slight volume changes.

Any EQ or Effects is best done I feel in a DAW/Sequencer.

YMMV of course.
