I'd like to see the RealDrums saved as separate wave files for each percussion instrument (kick.wav, snare.wave, low tom.wav, etc). The snare is usually much too hot in the current pre-mixed version. (Yes - I agree the wave files would be huge!)
What would really help here is to fix the VSTi compatibility issue, and allow the full use of jamstix it allows for 8 output recording so one could really get a very custom drum track when needed.
Lenovo Win 10 16 gig ram, Mac mini with 16 gig of ram, BiaB 2022, Realband, Harrison Mixbus 32c version 9.1324, Melodyne 5 editor, Presonus Audiobox 1818VSL, Presonus control app, Komplete 49 key controller.
If they are even able to do this (by mic technique and isolation of each part of the drum kit; it depends on how they were originally recorded), then it should be made available as an option, just like the audiophile version.

Totally agreed- as an additional buy for the pros, like drumsondemand, you can buy the stereo file of the drum track or the multichannel track (which is isolated as far as possible). I would buy it even if its 500 dollars just for all the drum multitracks

would make finetuning and EQ'ing drums so very much quicker and easier.

I would even be happy if just the kick and snare were on separate tracks, with the rest of the kit "pre-mixed". Having the ability to tweak those two would be a godsend for me.

+1 that doesn't seem like a bad idea from 2011.

This was the first follow up question we asked in December 2006, right after thanking PG Music for the new amazing and totally unexpected feature.

mindup. its not a perfect workaround BUT. 1. set up markers at every other bar or every 3 or 4 bars or whatever. solo drum track. 2. choose different styles from stylepicker and / or song picker . 3. generate the drum trak. often on intro and/or other places in the chord sheet you might get a drum hit by itself. save it of course. today i got a nice cymbal i liked by itself. this way i'm gradually getting a seperate folder of drum hits i can use in different songs. you can do the same with midi and vsti plug ins. also at freesound org are lots of free samples you can manipulate as well as other places on the net. another funky thing is use the biab playalong feature for melody trak useing your pc kbd. record midi then make the melody trak a drum trak. and/or get biab to gen automatically a melody trak . the best thing is to experiment. i'm cheap so i also experiment with recording different sounds around the house eg water glasses/tins/totes/ desks/different utensils. be inventive is my motto.once you have a sound you can make it higher or lower to see what works. i often do this in reaper for example. good luck
