ADJUSTING THE VOLUME of PUSHES, SHOTS and HOLDS in BIAB

Note: this Tips file is compiled from advice given by Peter Gannon to several individual posters. I thought it would be helpful to collect and post this in Tips and Tricks. Please report any errors.

MIDI Tracks
1. For MIDI tracks, go to Opt., Preferences, Arrange.
2. You can boost the velocity (adds to loudness) of pushes, shots and/or holds in the first three fields.
3. Only positive integers are accepted; you cannot decrease the velocity.
4. Remember, these settings only affect MIDI tracks.
5. These settings are global (apply to all MIDI tracks).

RealDrums
Go to Opt., Preferences, RealDrums
For Pushes: Adjust Push Velocity
For Holds and Shots: Adjust Shot Velocity
Note: these settings are global (apply to all RealDrums).

RealTracks
Adjusting the level of Shots and Holds in BIAB RealTracks:

• click on the Soloist Button
  
• choose a RealTrack in the list
  
• click Edit
  
• click More
  
• adjust Holds dB Offset ‘A’ substyle
  
• adjust Holds dB Offset ‘B’ substyle
  

Note: these settings are global (apply to all RealTracks).
The edits get saved to two files:

• Default.sol
  
• Rtextra.bin
  

So, if you do make changes, you should make a copy of these two files in case an update overwrites them.

PG Music welcomes specific suggestions if you believe there is an imbalance in a particular RealTrack, like "make the holds 3 dB quieter for RT# 1045”. They can change the master file if they agree.

Hi, Matt -

Just went and looked and for RealDrums, the box is called "Shot Velocity", not "Holds Velocity".

Otherwise, looks good.

Fixed. Thanks, John.

Hi Matt,

Thank you for taking the time to put this together. It's great to have all this information in one place.
