Hello,

If is possible with BIAB or Realband to generate Real Drums tracks for each drumset instrument ?
One for snare drum, one for cc, one for kick,etc...
That will be great in order to mix the drum parts ?

Thanks for your answer.

Best regards.

Frédéric D.

real Drums are wave files mixed down to stereo. You can't unmix them, anymore than you can unmix a cake and get the eggs back out. One option is to use a drum samper like jamstix, it has a 4 or 8 output setting where the drums can be sent out on different ports, i have done this and had 8 tracks reciece them then adjust the tracks individually.

If you're not using Vista you could get the DR005. It's a freebie now. RHARV has it on the net somewhere. If you search these threads you'll find the link.

It's what I use if I can. Sometimes it works just fine and other times it don't. Right now, with the new 2009 version of Real Band and Band in a box it works. You can break your midi drums out then assign a synth per track. Since I only like to fool with the snares I remove them from the drum track and leave the rest as using the DR on each track does take up overhead.

Not totally true. they were multi tracked originally. PG Music could make NEW RD tracks of individual instruments if they wanted. I asked Peter to do this a long time ago.

You can also copy and paste the RD tracks to multiple tracks and use parametric EQ etc. to sort of isolate instruments.

If you just want to add some reverb to a snare or something similar, you could trigger a similar sounding midi or another sampled snare in time then mix just the reverb into your track. Similar thing for doubling bass drum kicks etc. Depends how much time you have / want to spend.

You are right Silvertones, in that there is a way to do almost anything, but i doubt it would turn out all that well, at least for all that you would have to try to do to make it happen. The thought of trying to unscramble a drum track with Para Eq make my eye twitch! LOL

Okay, but imagine the SIZE of that amount of data for all the RealDrum tracks.

And there is also the sync problem that may get in the way, depending.

For total controlability, you'd end up having to mix 5 or 6 drum tracks to get a kit sound. Now you could get all the files together to do this, but as Mac says. Think of the size of the product. 5-6 times the amount of data already provided. If you wanted just the snare separately, that would be a different configuration, then the high hat sound or level wouldn't suit someone else.

From my perspective, one hugh benefit of having the realdrums in their current format is that I don't have to mess with them too much (if at all). If you really want a high degree of controlability wouldn't it be easier go back to midi and a good sample player and samples and trigger them from the midi as Russ suggested. Then you have total control over the sounds (within your budget for sounds of course).

There are also details in the help file that will allow creation of your own real drum styles if you feel so inclined, then you could meet this half way perhaps.

Go over to the Reaper site cockos.com there is a video on using drum replacement software to do some of this that was very intereting to watch. Basically it takes a gate plug and adjust till you only hear one of the drum sounds like say the kick, then you clone that and add a drum sample plug with only one drum sound a kick and you let the gated track fire the sampler. You repeat this with each drum.

Just curiouser here - and I realize this is the RB forum BUT - will a BIB midi drum track work as a midi track for EZDrummer? anyone tried that? That way total isolation would be possible on separate tracks.

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!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
