You can do this with MIDI though. Others may know more.

Remember RealDrums are already recorded drum phrases, so unless the drummer actually played using closed high hats, there is no way to explicitly select that. The best you could do would be to audition a number of RealDrums and maybe you'll find what you are after. Or switch back to MIDI drums.

Load the" _LITEPOP.STY" and then from the Style Icon on the Chord Sheet click on the small down arrow beneath the word 'Style' in the StylePicker Icon and from the drop down menu, select the first item - Choose Style similar to current - (It will have _LITEPOP.STY in brackets) This will open the StylePicker filtered to the _LITEPOP.STY Category, time signature, feel filter and tempo filter. To narrow the search even more specifically, select the Type Filter to Real (Ni Midi). This narrowed my search from over 9,000 Styles to 235. You can simply highlight each style and read the Drums description without having to audition any sounds unless a style seems interesting or has closed hi-hat in the description. Although all of the styles are within the search filters for similar attributes to _LITEPOP.STY, many styles can quickly be eliminated from reading the description and moving down to the next Style.

It would be nice to have just a Closed hat realdrum to simply pick up when needed. I tried making a loop in reaper but BIAB does not recognise it. Push come to shove, I'll have to use Midi. Last night at rehearsal I used BIAB as a basic drumm machine for the first time, as the drummer couldn't make it. The rest of the band members were impressed how good it sounded. Great searching for the song in the style page then applying the tempo and soloing the drums.

You may consider posting a request for Closed Hi-Hats in the Styles and RealTracks request section.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
