I use the BLANK utility styles a lot. Either for importing midi files into the melody track or audio files into the audio. Playing guitar live I am able to play BIAB live with a capo for certain songs. I can have a sequence or audio play in Bb and the notation in G with something in the title of the song like "Proud Mary/capo 3(Bb)", which tells me the original key and the capo position. Makes it a lot easier on someone would plays a lot of folk and country.

If I have a good midi sequence I can use that by importing it into the melody and embellishing it with a complimentary BIAB style. Sometimes I just use one or two lead tracks from a midi sequence.

Many times I will create a BIAB song and then rework it in Real Band. When I'm done I render a wave file of the finished song and the go back into the original BIAB song and change the style to a BLANK style to import the audio. This way I have all the chords that will scroll in the notation window along with the lyrics that I have typed in. My set list is in the the 800 song range. With my horrible memory, this is the only way I can pull off playing so many songs live.

So here's the problem. Most of the time all of this works fine. But sometimes when if I have imported a midi into the melody then invoke the real drums I get strange results. If I pick, for example, NashvilleEven8 a BLANK 4/4 style, often I am not able to change which drum subset I have. For example, it may only play the sidestick and I am unable to change it to any of the others(snare, hihat, etc.) Also in the the BLANK styles
I often get extraneousness fills and sometimes silent bars(talking about the RD). Sometimes the Real Drums will end half way through the song. I use NashvilleEven8 as only and example. It may not actually happen with that particular drum style, but it does with many.

So is this just something that is inherent in the program or is there a setting to fix this I don't know about? This happens on both computers I have BIAB installed on.

Running XP on both computers. Both computers have plenty of processing power and memory.
